I think the argument that Group 2,3,4, etc from whatever FC could easily just make a Linkshell and clear the content just for the personal recognition is a major reason why Linkshells shouldn't be allowed. If we allow linkshells, then we'd have to put multiple groups for FCs instead of just the FC - which is dumb.

There is ZERO need to add even more clutter to the already long list of progression notes.

Traditionally the Levi threads haven't included Linkshells, and the ONLY reason why this is even an issue AT ALL now is because the previous owner of the progression thread made a mistake.
