    Ironically, this was the original intended purpose for the /busy status. To tell your friends, "Sorry, although I'd usually be more than willing to help out or chat, etc., right now I don't have time, so don't bother me."

    Unfortunately, after such a long time without any other relief from RMT spam (as it took years to even get right-click report added), /busy has for so long been used mainly for hiding from RMT spam, that now it's original meaning is largely ignored. If a friend or FC member sees you're set to /busy, they're not going to assume that means you're busy and don't want to be bothered right now. They'll just assume you got too fed up with RMT, and that since they're not RMT it wouldn't apply to them (because most of the time, that assumption would be right).
