I find this situation insoluble. Only today it happened twice. Even a regular commentator on Vu-Graph did this to me!

During play one (even two!) players left my table in the middle of a hand. I waited but no one came for a long time. I did not dare to leave from fear I would be banned for bailing. But it is rather unpleasant waiting for opponents just because others don't have this fear in their heart and are unpolite.

At the moment I can't see how this can be solved. Even if I won't be banned for just one occassion, it may happen several times a day.

If someone leaves first, you can leave w/o suffering a penalty

Players who have this rude habit can be not alllowed to join your table. Make a player notation on PLAYER notes when they sit or even if they jump ship. Next time they come, just BOOT them.

As far as I know, booting is also prohibited. However, your suggestion to make a note in these player's profile may help. I simply won't allow them to sit down. Unfortunately, in most cases, someone else is the host.

Booting isnt prohibited, but excessive booting is.
The suggestion about notes is good one. Or marking the fellow in black.
If someone else is host - or you host - you may also say politely you dont want players to left in middle of a hand like he did the other day. So he and the others around the table are noticed. Probably he jumps away again - but then his statistics in the BBO machine will be still worse...
