Does it bother you when the tee markers aren't aligned properly? It bothers me more than it should, but I guess that's my problem. It bothered one of my playing partners enough that he would move the tee marker to align with the tee shot that he was going to play.
Clearly you're not allowed to do that, but what is the penalty? Rule 6.2b4 says "If the player improves the conditions affecting the stroke by moving any such tee-marker before playing from the teeing area, he or she gets the general penalty for breach of Rule 8.1a(1)." So how do you determine if the player did it to "improve the conditions?" Well, why else would they do it?
So it's a two-stroke penalty to move the tee markers.
At least he put them back after he played his shot.
