Kicking someone without reason isn't very nice now, is it? Especially if the reason was "you suck in-game"...
I've kicked some members in my time, and every time with good reasons. If a member is kicked, it's most likely because they haven't been able to follow our rules. Either by spamming the fuck out of the clan board, posting shit or harassing people outside the clan.
Laxo i.e. at first seemed like a nice fellow, but look at him now. Check the banlist, he's all over the place spreading his shit everywhere.... That's the people you want to avoid recruiting, also most people who're kicked from clans don't turn into "great players", most seek revenge or join a different clan to harass with their shit.
The good people always leave, on their own, they don't get kicked.
