# Mentions & AFK

> A reply when you're pinged, and automatic AFK handling.

## Mention replies

Mention Criminal directly and it answers · once per user per **60 seconds**, so a conversation
doesn't turn into a wall of replies.

```text theme={null}
/config toggle mention-reply enabled:False
```

Turn it off per server. It only triggers on a **direct mention** in a normal message: replying to the
bot, `@everyone`, and role pings don't count.

## AFK

```text theme={null}
/afk [reason]
```

* While you're AFK, anyone who mentions you gets an answer saying you're away.
* Post again and Criminal welcomes you back with how long you were gone, then clears the AFK.
* Running `/afk` again also clears it rather than stacking a second status.
* AFK state is per server and survives a restart.

AFK is handled before anything else on a message, so a returning member's first message is still
processed normally after the welcome-back card.

* `/remindme` for timed reminders rather than presence.
* `/trigger` for automatic replies to keywords · see [Triggers](https://docs.criminal.work/features/triggers.md).
