Have you considered the possibility of that player sending you the substitution?
Or that they just don't want anyone to touch their account because they don't want to play anymore?
Of course, there are LOTS of possibilities.
However did you really even bother to think that "possibility" through?
"they just don't want anyone to touch their account because they don't want to play anymore?"
If they are in an alliance, they have responsibilities that come with being part of the team (granted, after killing the fort, the responsibilities tend to become far more lax). The USUAL way, is simply kick them, as I stated above. However, if they "don't want to play anymore" then, the ball is still in their court to leave the alliance and sector away.
The point is, in many cases, it is more about other RL issues that sometimes they cannot control, thus, instead of kicking them, having the option to at least move their bases as needed and keep their account alive, provides them time to get back online and make that call themselves.
In the end, nobody is messing with their account, as the controls would be extremely limited (unless the player designates differently themselves.)
Thus, as stated, the point is to have one more step before having to boot a player. It's far more about courtesy than being insensitive to a player that wants to quit.
Again, if you don't want to play anymore (and thereby do not want someone messing with your account), leave the alliance. It's not rocket science.
