Saying this is a dumb idea, without any arguments saying why it is a dumb idea.

There are already ways to leave your game on without getting kicked.
No actual need for a command like this, but it could make things easier for other people.

.....

Whats the point of it just go to a bank or ammu, there are plenty around.

Explain to me how adding an /afk command would gain lw's players?

If its not in the rules already adding "pausing is only allowed in banks and ammu nation" would be enough

Read the entire topic, all the posts and you will see it is not only about the /afk command.
Maybe a new topic should be made to make it easier.

An /afk command would be as easy as /taichi inside the bank...
So the command itself isnt that necessairy.
It should be explained to people how they can pause, without getting kicked within 5 minutes from the server.

Some pausers who get kicked just don't bother to come back.
And even when they come back they can sometimes create a lower amount of players on the server list.
A lower amount of players probably attracts less other players.

So when this explained properly to (new) players, there would be more people in the server.
And as suggested before by masterbeef, you also could remove the entire time limit.
I don't see a real disadvantage to that.

I'll show you a disadvantage. Imagine a guy that have bought all the properties and paused the game for 5 hours. He would have billions on him and ppl wouldn't even be able to loc him. For some ppl it might be really annoying and make them leave.

15 minuts pause, no more.

Well, If you like I will jump in the game right now, buy all the properties, and pause for 5 hours.
Unless people will buy my properties(which is possible when i am on pause :P duhh)
 I will have loads of cash.
So that part is possible right now anyway... with using /taichi ;)

I'll think there should at least a chance be given for small changes.
If it doesn't work out the pause thing can be changed back in to the previous state.

That may sound good, but every change done to the game mode can cause bugs, unless it's a feature worth taking the time to test out the possible inconsistencies in the mode, then it's not needed for the developers to waste their time.

But then again, you can just pause there without being kicked, so why do you need a command?

You can already pause in any area where the weapons are disabled (bank and ammunation) therefore a command would be redundant. Pausing is not wanted from a technical standpoint as it can bug the script and it can bug SA:MP.
