Meeting the new members in person when I give them their Linkpearls, is a good thing that should not be removed. However, it is obligatory to be able to release inactive or unwanted members anytime, anywhere. We know of cases where unwanted members run away and hide to prevent being kicked, making it impossible for the Linkshell Master to remove them from the LS. And members who are never online even more so.

I also agree with Darkstarpoet1 that automaticaly sorting members could be a handy feature, if done correctly.
