To cut down on some of the randomness of players coming and going in the Main Bridge Club, the "Home" button (as well as the "click on your name to leave your seat" function) should be disabled from the time that a player makes his first bid until his involvement in that hand is complete (either by becoming dummy or by playing to trick 13).

If you get disconnected, fine. If you have to leave unexpectedly and you sign off, also fine. But it should at least be inconvenient for players to leave a table mid-hand and go play at another table.

yes, much better for a pissed-off individual to click cards at random, or, better yet, just sitting there not doing anything for half an hour.

It will never work, trying to control the crowd, because there are idjets among us who couldn't care less or don't even understand they are annoying. I would much rather have an idjet leave immediately rather than force him to stay for any length of time. The oft-repeated solution is to play with friends or people with whom you have had a nice time in the past. Mark a person enemy when he/she misbehaves and don't join such a table or allow them to join yours.

PS. About third of the names I see in my Lobby list are black.... maybe more should be.
