AFK Kicked During Preperation...

So I just got into AV on a random the other night and right away there's <some t**t> (can't remember his name) shouting how "this BG is for elite <some server> everyone else should gtfo". I figure him for the kind of moron you get from time to time and think nothing of it.
Two seconds later I get a message: "<some t**t> has reported you afk. To remove this debuff type /afk"
I type /afk. And all seeems to be well.
Then I get another: "<some t**t> has reported you afk. To remove this debuff type /afk"
I type /afk again.
Two seconds later I'm kicked from the battleground. Remember the game hadn't even started yet and i wasn't afk by any means, I was running around BoK-ing people as usual.
So I guess one of two things happened, either <some t**t> used some kind of exploit or something to clone a system message and trick me into /afk-ing myself out of the BG (is this how the /afk command works? I've never come across it before and the wowhead entry doesn't give much info)
Or he had enough server mates to report everyone in the BG not from his server as afk and get them kicked. Is this possible so early on?
Surely it would be pointless anyway as the raid would immediately restock with new people, also probably not from his server (naive of me to expect rationality from people like that I guess but still...)
Anyway, was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar?
Cheers

/e has reported you afk. To remove this debuff type /afk
and as you know by now doing /afk in a BG will make you leave it

Yep, that lesson has now been learned. Thanks for the confirmation.
I wonder how he cloned the system message though? Ah well...
