It will be possible to remove members and change authority levels even if the Free Company members are not logged in. We are also looking into a feature where leadership will be passed to another member of the Free Company if the leader does not log in for a certain period of time.
For linkshells, I could care less about changing authority levels or whatever, but it would still be really nice to remove linkshell members when they aren't still logged on (and certainly, even if they don't happen to be within 20 yalms of you). Even if it's a place "just to chat", sometimes you end up wanting someone to go away, and they don't always just gracefully drop their linkpearl, you know? Which can make it super uncomfortable for everyone when they log on at times when the leaders aren't on and harass everyone else.
