Heh, pretty funny read since I guess I missed it the first time. I used to get people all the time in /2 for asking the question "Hey what's the command for quitting a guild again?"
My favorite /e to use when I used to play AV quite a bit showed up like this, before they put in that indention on multiple lines of text from the same person:
Mytoonname cheers!
: Shutdown in 15:00
Got quite a few folks with that one, both in AV and in raids, especially on maintenance days.

It's stupid. People say they do this to get rid of the newbs in battlegrounds...
Umm... Weren't you a newb once? Oh no, that's not possible. That might damage your precious e-peen. If new players were not allowed into battlegrounds, the bg's would die off! And, I really don't see how this would benefit anyone, really.
Say, player1 logs into the bg. player2 hits his macro. player1 types /afk, and is removed from the battleground. Is he/she less of a newb? No. He/she simply knows not to type /afk now. He/she has not gained any battleground experience whatsoever. So, he/she now has to wait for their queue again.
It's a very unhealthy prank; I discourage it as much as the "PRESS ALT+F4 TO GET A THOUSAND GOLD," macro.

Such angry people. It's a joke. Chill out. Personally, I saw it, and stupidly typed /afk without thinking. I was laughing for the next 15 minutes while I waited for the debuff to wear off.Ain't funny when you're trying to get PVP gear so you can make your guild's minimum gear check. Fifteen minutes lost is fifteen minutes lost and however much honor you could've farmed during that time.
Then again, I'm the guy who doesn't find most American comedy funny at all.
I agree with ZoraLink. First time it happened to me I realized what I did and thought it was hilarious.
If you fall for this once, laugh it off and do something else for 15 minutes.
If you fall for this twice, you are doing your guild a favor by not being able to get geared for whatever it is they are running.

Yes, it is considered harassment and is against the ToS. Keep in mind that
GMs can ban you for any reason, or no reason at all

One of my guild members got a 2 hour ban for messing like this with AFK people in battlegrounds.
He posted a link on the official forum to the screenshot of the conversation with the GM. This got him another 3 day game ban for 'starting a riot', as wel as a permanent ban for the official forums. After 4 years the forum ban is still in place.
Reread the EULA, you got nothing.
