Does LeaveBuster account for "AFKs" that sit on base but don't actually disconnect?

I was just reading over the Leave Buster thread and got to wondering. I see this a lot: a player gets mad and sits on base, either by Nexus or in well, and will either spam hate or just sit there without ever disconnecting (I'm guessing bumping the character around to keep the "inactive" prompt at bay). Does anyone know if there is a system in place to detect this, besides player reporting?

This is the most common form of trolling I've seen in both Ranked and Normals - and most of the time, you really think that maybe they DCed, except the team is never told it, and they don't receive the additional stats for it, and they actually make it into the end game stats where they actually start flaming because they think it is safer there. I am not bothered when I see a person consistently trying to reconnect and failing. This, on the other hand, is way more common.

If their name is red at the end of the match leaver buster got them. If not then no

Yep. I dropped a cup of water after I had died and moved to clean it up, I sat at base for 35 seconds (I looked at the clock before and after because I take AFKs seriously) and was made to type "I Accept" after the match concerning the consequences of AFKs

If you don't gain experience for a certain length of time(nobody knows the exact, and some claim it's as low as 1-2 minutes) after minions spawn, you get a flag on your record.

Yes it does. How it does it, no one outside of Riot actually knows (they don't want people trying to find ways around this) but apparantly they can detect more subtle things than that.
