pokerstars has decided to instigate this disconnect and I understand why, but they are flawed in their enforcement.

Here is a clue PokerStars, when I am sitting at a table that I am getting ready to play, that is not the time to disconnect me.

Nope it is to make sure inactive players are not taking up space on their servers. And if I am registered for a game then I am active and disconnecting me because the game has not started yet is idiotic.:icon_shak

It is annoying for sure but generally a good precaution feature.

I'd rather move my mouse than risk my cat registering me in mtt's when I'm afk.
I know she is a better poker player than me but I won't allow her to gamble.

A good feature to protect players . Annoying sometimes , but necessary :) .

It would better when this happens if you don't have to type again password , like in partypoker ( cause I have the option ''remember pw'' clicked , but when I am logged out due to inactivity and I try to log in again , my password is not remembered anymore :( )

I agree with xrhstos "It is annoying for sure but generally a good precaution feature". Mind you, I would say that, because I would really like to look after his cat.

If you ever need anyone to look after your cat when you go on an extended holiday, maybe Las Vegas for a month or two, I will.

This is done for your safety so that scammers cannot withdraw money.

Well, you just need to click a button to stay connected. I don't see it as a big issue.
