I don't really see what the problem is, yes regs will do it sometimes but they couldn't guarantee getting back at the same table, if there's people waiting then they probably wouldn't. In 400NL this helps keep the games going sometimes which is very important, if its a choice of a reg leaving completely or being able to rejoin with less I'd much rather they were able to rejoin. Same goes if a recreational player runs his stack up from 200 to 1000, id much rather they had the option of rejoining with 200 than leaving completely.
To sum up - f*** off back to stars
Like I said, a casual player doing it isn't as big of a deal. His motives probably are not bad, doing it occasionally, at one or few tables is barely noticeable. But watching a player doing it every few minutes at every table is scummy.
If a player is sat at every table he is going to get the be sat back at the same table in the seat he just vacated. The guy must have already been in the queue because of how quick he got the seat when he left.
The example you give is somebody buying back in for 100bb, I don't think thats anywhere near as bad as coming back with the minimum.
And yes I agree that typically you want to keep these people in the game.
