Ok to have removed ahead of plugging in and powering on.
Not a great idea to do it once powered.

Nah. It won't have any bad effect on your laptop but there's no reason to do it. Modern Laptops use Lithium Ion batteries that hold no memory. That basically means that charging often will have no effect on it. Won't do anything for saving power either.

It's actually better to leave it in...less issues with dust on the contacts 
...
One tip though is to always have something (piece of paper/cloth) between the screen and keyboards when closed.
Some laptops will mark the screen when closed without anything in the way.

Happens often and it's impossible to fix once its damaged (short of LCD panel replacement).

Luckily most of the modern laptops have noticed the design flaw and are quite good now.
One thing i would recommend for anyone is a laptop stand with built in fan. Especially if your home doesn't have AC in a particular area (I'm poor, leave me alone) - It really helps with the laptops lifespan as well as performance
