I created an alt a few days ago and I did not want to join the novice network but someone invited me to it without asking my permission first. This actually irritated me greatly because I could not leave the network of my own accord on my alt.

Inviting someone to the novice network should give an option to accept/decline just like Free Company and Linkshell invites work. I could have saved myself and the others on the network the headache/irritation.
Instead, I had to go onto my other account, join the novice network and then kick my alt because no other mentors in the network could figure out how to kick them.

Yes, I know I could just take off my beginner status, but I should not have to do it that way. It should ask me to confirm before just throwing me into the network without my permission.
Either that or /novicenetwork on/off should work for ALL characters to leave or join the network. Not just mentors.
