good rule or bad?

what do you guys think about a rule for online poker that sets a short time limit (say 2-5 minutes) after which a person who is sitting out is booted from the table if their stack is shorter than the max buy-in for the table? if they have a more than the max, then i could probably tolerate them sitting out longer (but not indefinitely).

not sure if there is such a rule in place. i just got tired of a guy sitting out for what was about half an hour with a stack slightly over half the max buy-in. better to replace him with someone who wants to play. it's better for the other players and the poker site obviously.

    I'd rather be able to sit on a big stack for a longer period.
    This allows me to take a dinner break/deal with real life etc.

    Maybe it's changed but...

    I thought P* and FTP took you off a table if you missed 2 full orbits?

    There's no reason to sit out of an online game for more than 5 mins. If you're going to be any longer, just leave the table. It's not like you can't get another seat at another table later. If you hunted around for a nice juicy table, and found one, you shouldn't be sitting out! Eat your meal at the computer, just like live players do!

    My question would be, why do you care? Unless the person is preventing you from getting onto an especially juicy table, I do not see the point of getting your panties in a bunch over such a trivial issue.

    oh i didn't know that. that's not too bad then i guess (although i wouldn't mind seeing it higher for big stacks).

    thanks for the kind words and reminding me why i haven't posted in this forum for months.

    i feel that from my original post you can see that i was not terribly upset about the issue. i was merely making a suggestion that i thought could benefit most parties involved.

    For the same reason it tilts the shiite out of me when someone does it in a live game format.

    But online they do kick you off the table after a certain timeframe.
