<div dir="ltr">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"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Victor </div>

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.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>--Will<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jun 23, 2020, 6:56 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tanya Aldrich <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:taldrich@strategicon.net" target="_blank">taldrich@strategicon.net</a><br clear="none">
