Yes -- I like the idea of not having it for those coming back to the same table. (I was thinking that, since it normally takes a minute or two to get back on after disconnection, those who were disconnected wouldn't suffer much). Alternatively, BBO can presumably determine whether it was a disconnection or a click off (since in the case of the latter the player goes off the system at the same time as leaving the table), and simply not impose the 2 minutes on such players.

I wanted to make a suggestion regarding players leaving the table. BBO would arrange, for any player that leaves in the middle of a hand (including clicking on and then, immediately, off), that the server disables that player's username for, say, 2 minutes. This is long (and frustrating) enough that it would, I believe, cut down on the vast majority of players doing this; but no so long that people would spend time devising workarounds (such as having numerous usernames). I don't want to irritate or penalize people, just encourage players to finish out hands.
