That might indeed be the explanation, but since this is no longer a commonly used strategy, sites should not maintain such rules today. Also if they dont like short-stacking or cap-stacking, they should raise the minimum buyin, as most sites have already done. Its really lame to allow players to buy in short and then complain, if some of them use a strategy of always playing short.

For the recond there are still a few cap stackers (40BB) around. I have seen them on both PokerStars and ACR Poker. And honestly who cares? If fish are allowed to buy in for 40BB, then why should regulars not be allowed to do the same? It sites dont like this behaviour, then just raise the minimum buyin further. You cant give players a choise of, how much they buy in for, and then complain, when they actually use it or use it in a way, you dont like.

Also most sites have already done, what PokerStars did to combat "hit and running", which is to require players, who rejoin a cash table within a certain amount of time after leaving (like 2 hours), to buy in for the same amount, they left with. The rule of GG Poker goes further than that and stipulates, that players are not allowed to leave at all, and this is definitely unreasonable and not comparable to anything, that PokerStars or other sites do.
