I'm sure there is already a topic about this but we recently had a new member drop a bunch of bad teams all over our TW defenses. We removed him from the guild as soon as we could but his teams remain. I know there are issues with having people remove defenses in the code and such but it would be really nice if removing someone from the guild during the defense setup phase would remove whatever teams they placed. Hopefully we can still pull off a win but who knows...

It's a guild event. If a member of your guild performs badly, it should reflect on your whole guild's performance.

And this is still a very bad idea no matter how frequently it's requested.

I agree. It sounds good, but when you really think of the implications, it'll inevitably lead to a level of micromanagement that just removes the fun from any team/guild based game, especially in more competitive guilds(in which people already complain that the game feels like a chore)..

Those are 2 different things, being forced to go in with less teams placed or place more teams vs choosing to do so.

I agree that a player should be able to remove teams, they have stated they will never give someone else the ability to removed others teams.

This is a slippery slope, because you could end up with the same issue, someone trolling would just need to leave in the last few minutes and now your guild is down team placement.

Its probably not doable, but if a player leaves or is kicked out during setup, then an officer should be able to remove their teams.
