So... what if they just got locked by the titans or magistrates for a short time? Not to mention that there are cases where a player is locked, and then later unlocked after a day or two. Your "taking actions to remove them" is completely inappropriate. It is taking IC action based on OOC information. The game will automatically remove them at the appropriate time if they are gone long enough.
The region starves? Well, then it starves. It's no different than if a character got badly wounded, or captured. The character would be unavailable in those circumstances as well. Would you "take actions to remove them" if they were in prison?
