[Deptheads] Pre-Reg Pending

[Strategicon Department Heads]

 I have always wanted "auto approval" and dept. supervisors going back in manually to clean up any potential conflict since 90% of time approval is auto and less than 10% require Supervisor to step in or have a  GM notify a supervisor of a potential player conflict. That said.........it is more a pr nightmare to remove an auto-approved player than vetting everyone and every event to begin with......even if 90% of time it doesn't matter. So that is why I never pushed or brought it up again the past years. Leave it up to those on both sides of approval and deny and what works best for majority.

 I think the pending step should be kept. I've had GMs notify me about problem players before who they would prefer be kept out of their games, and those specific players would then show up in the pre-reg approval queues. Essentially, I know it's a bit of a pain, but I think it's a bit of a security risk if people are just automatically approved wholesale.

Hi All,
With the addition of the waitlist feature, I’m wondering if we really need to keep the Pending step for limited capacity events.
I need to know, if anyone has an issue with auto approval for all events.
Admins will still have the ability to add and drop people from an event, and soon bump someone back to waitlist.
Currently the code allows a capacity which is a max of 50% pre-reg (100% for virtual) and a waitlist (virtual and 100%) for pre-reg users.
I’ve included the waitlist feature in the new code for both physical and virtual events (a waitlist is not required, it is purely an available option for all). The new setup would be 50% of max capacity plus 50% of waitlist capacity for pre-reg of on-site events. 100% for both for virtual (I wonder why).
If we get rid of the pending step, if someone drops from an event, the next person on the waitlist will be approved (if the event permits).
I say, "if event permits", because the department head can manually approve above 50%. For example, a couple where only one got auto approved and the other waitlisted. A drop from this event would not automatically move someone up from the waitlist.
Manual approval should never fill an on-site event to capacity.
So, does anyone *need* the pending step to remain?
If I haven’t heard a request to keep it by Monday morning, I will assume Pending is no long needed in the new format.
