For myself, I tell them to PM me first to check - it can be frustrating when your character isn't in their proper attire but they try to initiate on you and then you're called 'clowny' from now on (Yeah, you know who you are. T_T )
It's either that or you perhaps also edit your search Info and put up the 'AFK' sign?
I forgot to mention, I actually did put in my search info specifying if I was wearing class/craft gear, I am not IC. But, very few seem to read them.Â
Using the /afk would be my last resort - because I don't want to mislead people into thinking I am not present. I prefer to be contactable since I am the leader of my FC, and I don't really want people to think I'm not there if they need to talk to me.. when I am. Messy! ._.
