being kicked for being afk isnt a bad thing, its the opposite. it can clear space for ppl who actually play.
but due to its functionality you get kicked wrongly and wayyyy to quick.

wrongly:
-texting in chat
-just moving mouse, you somehow have to move with wasd too
-changing settings like keybinds

please change this and increase the timer for being kicked from like 15 seconds to 30 at least.

this would belong more in user suggestions but also fits to this topic:

-give optional settings that keep you in the match, especially if you are in a party. those settings should be deactivated by default.

if you have to go to pee or get a glass of water, you sometimes join a match and get kicked because you thought you can come back in time. if you play alone, its fine. just search for another match. if you play in a party, either you or your friends depend or miss you. being kicked is not nice then. if you are afk for longer, you can always be kicked or leave but if its just something small, then i dont see a problem with letting players stay in the match.

also i would say that kicking players in ranked due to "afk" is kinda stupid. even if a real afk guy gets kicked in ranked its not gonna help, cos its not clearing space and apparently nobody is gonna replace. But the thing is that when u get kicked in ranked for wrongly things as harald described it feels bad. u have been typing too long? nah get out of here u are not playing ranked anymore. Like for real? sometimes even a game can be lost cos of that

you shouldnt be kicked if you type or are in settings.

It is a huge problem. Like, if I'm even playing EMP I get afk kicked while in the transporter thing at the beginning if I don't choose a loadout or do inputs

getting kicked in solo missions should not be a thing since at least emp has a time limit anyways

its annoying when something pops in the background and you have to leave in the end of the match just to get kicked for being afk for 30 secs or if you rejoin the match to be at 0 kills

i had to get up for something quick in the background and leave the pc for a sec and when i came in less than a minute i was already kicked out and the match was at it's end
