To the best of my knowledge, P&F servers allow camping during gameplay.
I've noticed, on rare occasion, that I am kicked from a server while sniping/camping. I will turn directions, switch between crouched and prone, but not fire often or move much (because I don't want to give away my position).
During ADS, I cannot see the warning about an impending kick for inactivity. As a result, I may not see the warning and be kicked from the server.
Can anyone offer any suggestions in order to keep this from happening?
Please refrain from the obvious suggestion of moving more and shooting more, as I am planning to do that as a last resort in the few times I actually try sniping/camping in maps.
I am looking for more creative possibilities.
Thank you,
Damon

I have. If I am camping a hall or something I have to hit the WASD keys every few seconds to keep the warning from popping up. It's annoying.

Typing, for whatever reason, isn't enough to prevent the kick. I've been camping a spot, chatting away, only to be kicked mid sentence.

it happens pretty quick too, I found a nice spot to hide while I went for a bathroom break, just a number 1, got back maybe 45 seconds after leaving and i was kicked.

As long as you are moving and not just the mouse then you wont get kicked. This is nothing we can control.

Thank you all for the replies.
I'll just try to remember to do a little dance while camping in the same location for an extended period.
