(ii) To avoid sitting out to be moved to more profitable table/situation
Put in your ToS that it is now illegal. Players sitting out for x hands in one tournament while not sitting out (and playing) in another are automatically disqualified from all tournaments actively being played. x should be 30ish hands. Tournament funds won if caught during this illegal activity will be not be awarded.
*As with all PS punishment, case by case exemptions can always be made if after the fact the player can prove why he/she should not be punished.
I assume you've never multi-tabled or grinded for hours. I also assume you have no idea about software engineering and what it'd take to (God forbid) imply your ideas as opposed to what PS Mike offered.
(i) There's also this special thing called "5min break" every hour and if for example you're taking one while using 3rd party software to auto-register, the idea of not being able to sit-back immediately when you get back to grinding is just ****ing ******ed (Excuse my french but your idea is way worse than just "unpopular")
(ii) Please read post #74 again because it looks like you've missed it. PS has offered a solution and they're working on it. Punto.
Overall, I think your ideas are reminiscent of the spanish inquisition. It's not like we're talking punishing people for extreme cases of cheating ITT.
