Too few people are willing to command these days, let them boot all their team if they want to as long as they don't resign just after.
Even moreso because I remember Ozzy booting 15, 20 people at once in a game, then taking the rest of his team on to win.
I agree with KGJV, but would add this: if someone graduates from ACS they can boot whomever the $#@! they want other than <4's. They can boot as many people they want.
Basically having "8 boots=boot resign" means that the first seven asshats who suck ass at the game and ignore the commander get the boot, but the 8th magically gets boot protection. No one over the rank of 9 should ever have boot protection, because over the rank of 9 you're either a stacker who should be booted or you should know how to play the game. It takes a couple hours to read the information in the Allegiance Acadamy, you don't have to spend four weeks in the course to be an effective pilot (that being said, it does help a lot). If you can't take the time out of your day to learn to play the game, then you shouldn't play the game.
