Pirate Bood is scurvy dog
In the days before we had the option for captains permissions, you had the problem of random tpers who became random shooters and also wheel stealers the moment they came aboard, they might be people who saw you launching from shore who clicked on you to get your card up then tp to you after you boarded; they might be people who were sailing close to you and clicked on any member of your crew so that they could tp over to that person. And Im fairly sure at first if they took your wheel even the captain couldnt snatch his own wheel back. In those days we had no means of booting people at all, they might even hide in the bulk head of your ship as you could glitch into it then, random shoot, swim off ship and annoy the rest of crew with spamming, it was pretty nasty some times....
HERE is what we did.... Tough measures for tougher times, we would try to crew them to reason with them, if they said no we would warn them they would be reported, if they didnt care or were abusive, we would tell everyone in crew to select ignore then tp off ship and the captain would take it and sink it with the rogue pirate on ship, forsaking any cargo gathered up to that point.
Asking everyone to press ignore ensured the rogue pirate couldnt tp back to anyone of them when we relaunched.
But in those days we sailed as a guild and in our crews we had order and lots of fun, now with the latest crew system we are encouraged to take random crew members as the crewing option defaults to an open crew search soon as you start one. I would suggest, when you start a crew click on the option to close public crew search. If you have a rowdy unhelpful crew member you can go into moderations on that persons player card and above the option to report you see a picture of a boot to boot them off ship.
The things we have to do! ... if only pirates were well mannered and kind and never did bad stuff like steal and cheat and ... oh!
