For consideration please: **Problem statement** : When someone seeks to join our [site](https://forum.openmod.org), they are put in a **Review** queue of **Pending** applications. And then one of three admins might process their request using the following **protocol** : - those with an institutional email address are waived through - those who are known (often as a result of a referral) are waived through - those not are sent an email requesting background. **Possible solution** : Via some kind of GUI interface, an admin can take charge of a particular screening process so that the other admins can know that that application is being handled and by whom. **Additional feature** : If typed‑in notes could also be recorded en route, that would also help reduce the opportunities for confusion and possibly also assist with the screening decisions. **Background material** : - [https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-moderators-coordinate-their-efforts/190257/17](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-moderators-coordinate-their-efforts/190257/17) - [https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-email-for-application-pending-use-case/211285](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-email-for-application-pending-use-case/211285) Many thanks in advance, R --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/formalized-assignment-and-possible-logging-of-pending-applications/232724)._
