Playing a high number of tables that leads to you timebanking frequently isnt stalling. The main problem here is the person writing the email has no idea what he's talking about. Stalling is specific tactic not a byproduct of playing too many tables. He also engages in ridiculous hyperbole when he says

It has come to our attention that during T#843590510,843600381,843611261 that you have been stalling during games - taking up the maximum time permitted for every hand
. It's almost as if he just took what the complainer claimed as gospel wo checking. Having someone be this clueless and dishonest coming from a position of power and authority is unprofessional at a minimum.

There are plenty of rules in many areas of life that have to be judged with discretion. I think it's far easier to monitor the handful of cases than to imagine an algorithm that takes that many variables into account--because in order to design it, you're going to have to make an arbitrary decision as a programmer anyway.
God no. This would lead to how good you are sending emails about opponents and having friends do the same become a part of what affects your winrate. It's much better to have an arbitrary algorithm applied to everyone equally than have someone that doesnt quite get it arbitrarily make decisions case by case. Recs who whine about regs taking a lot of time also arent objective and dont mind having the extra time bank for themselves when they get distracted by the TV, phone, bathroom, etc.
I agree that tables full of regs timebanking every hand are bad for the games but there are ways this can be fixed by creating rules that are equally applied to all.
