<div dir="ltr">I agree with this - approving someone, then yanking their approval, is worse, PR-wise, than them having to wait to be approved with the knowledge that they might be rejected.

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">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.</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Victor </div>
