Has anybody got a warning for table camping? I'm not even sure if people who are table blocking are getting warnings or suspensions. It's not even explicitly mentioned in the rules. I guess the rules for table blocking could be applied to it through its wording, but I'm not sure if the intent of that wording was meant to also prevent table camping situations.

Table Blocking
Players may not, at any time, sit out at the poker tables with the intention of not playing or to prevent others from playing. The act of blocking tables is strictly forbidden by BetOnline.ag Poker Management.
Any player who is found to be in violation of this rule may have their account suspended or any other action taken as seen fit by the BetOnline.ag Poker Management. To query an account suspension or report any instances of this offence happening at the tables, please get in touch with poker@betonline.ag

Seating scripts aren't mentioned in the rules and I doubt there's been any penalties for using one which obviously makes it advantageous to have one. I would prefer that they would be against the rules, but I can't blame people for using it when it's in their best interest to do so. If you choose not to use a seating script then you have to be willing to start tables by playing HU at a terrible price to do so or table camp and hope they'll continue to not penalize you for it.
I guess the following could be applied to seating scripts if they wanted to.
Quote:
Prohibited Software
It is strictly prohibited to make use of any software, artificial intelligence or tools, in conjunction with our poker software, in order to gain an unfair advantage over other players. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of “robots” (also referred to as “bots”) and/or non-software based systems such as subscription services or websites. Any actions taken in our poker room must be executed by the player personally, via our poker software, without the assistance of any other software, artificial intelligence or other tools not pertinently specified above in permitted software.
You agree that the poker room can take any steps necessary in order to detect and/or prevent the use of software, artificial intelligence or other tools. We reserve the right to close any account/s and/or confiscate funds from accounts found to use any software, artificial intelligence or any other tools, as stated.
It would obviously be better if seating scripts were explicitly stated though. Even if they ban the seating scripts it probably won't look too much different to the recs. 5 regs will still sit pretty quickly after the rec does. It just won't be instantaneous. I also question how well the rule would be enforced given the bot and table blocking issues that have been going on without any decent intervention for quite a while.
Whatever your solutions are please put your ideas in their suggestion box. Thanks.
