Yeah unfortunately that is how things roll here, got to keep the database clean.
If you ever have to go away or just loose the urge to play for a while and still want to keep your characters, hand over your FAM information to a close friend and have him log in to each character once a week and just fly around for 5 or 10 minutes.
In regards to undocking to save your character, I was told (By a certain Bare Bear) that after 10minutes of total play time, a character needs only 1 second of play to reset the time until the character gets deleted. So that would imply that you simply have to log on the character and log back off and you should be safe. Is this true?

Yeah. There's a chance that if you're just logging a char and immediately F1ing from the station that the server wouldn't recognize your time logged. Just do what Malexa said "and undock to be 100% safe".
that same naked ursinous person vouchsafed to me that all you needed to do after 10 mins of activity was to sell and re-buy ONE nanobot/shield battery to avoid the server kleenex of doom
