In other words, you're a RPer.
That explains the different viewpoint.
Typing afk, and having a flag set, is simply a matter of common courtesy, IMHO. I agree with dub on this matter, no afk rules are bad. In most cases they've been added to prevent exploitation of gametime rules and botting. Why not change the base layout of the game, so you can't just idle your way upwards, if that's a concern.
About going afk in RP muds - if it's a big deal that afk people interfere with the immersion, do as someone else suggested, and send them to a non-access 'afk' room, so hapless RPers don't bump into them.
Most rules can be coded around, the no afk rule is no exception.
