Because you seem to misunderstand some things.. or at least not explaining things well...
I will open a poll now, and ask members that who is generally right in our discussions. I am really curious about what members think for us. You're free to vote, I'll vote fo myself

Then you thought wrong... Look, you can NOT change a status, but you can change what is shown to the user; how the status is called and/or shown to the user. Again, you can NOT change a status. The status Away stays the status Away, the status Idle stays the status Idle.
What does it mean to change contacts' status? This kind of thing can't be possible, as all of us know. For example, if Plus! was able to change contacts' statuses, think those contacts. When they come back to their computers, they would see something like "Your status is changed by CookieRevised". As you see, this would be very strange and stupid. So why do you think I am talking about changing the contacts' statuses. I am again repeating myself. It is not that much important whether it changes contacts' statuses or only changes the statuses shown.
quote:
What that option does and means is changing the WORD "away" to the correct wording "idle". This does NOT change the status at all!
So why are you interested in such WORD SCHEMES? Also why do people and me want to change our contacts' statuses? We have definitely more important and enjoyable things to do in WLM.
quote:
The "appropiate" means that not all WORDS "Away" are going to be changed since not all words "Away" actually represent the status Idle.
Right, appropriate means that but think how people, who see that option of Plus! first time on their lives, can understand its accurate meaning. So my translation can give an accurate meaning to clever users. But current translation can't give that much accurate meaning to neither clever nor stupid users, additionally, people can never be able to understand when that feature will work by reading the option solely.
quote:
Not everybody on this forum knows options very well.
Please assume they know everything very well when you write your first posts on threads; if they state that they don't know something about features/options, then explain those features/options to them.
quote:
You asked what that "when appropiate" means and/or why it is there, I explained it.
Thanks for your effort to help, but I neither asked its meaning nor the reason why it is there.
Also I'm sorry if readers of my post really think that I am asking its meaning.

My suggestion is clear: Lets change the text of option as
Show contacts as Idle instead of Away when they're inactive
