*notifications for club pres for applications

How do people feel about the club president getting a notification when their club receives a horse registration or stud book application? Not one for every horse that applies, but something like "There are 23 applications pending in the [Horse] Club".

Would people find this helpful, or would it be too annoying? The current alternative is to just remember to check it regularly. I'm especially keen to hear from other current club presidents as to how they feel about this.

I actually thought about suggesting this myself; it would definitely be nice to know that you have registrations pending but would also be more of a convenience thing than a necessity.

Would annoy me more than anything

Perhaps a once daily notice: "you have X horses pending registration"

^
That would annoy me even more, I am president, I haven't forgotten about pending horses. If the president visits their club page each day they should know they have horses pending. I think that a reminder is kinda unnecessary because when you become president you have new responsibilities, one of them being the ability to remember to go through pending horses.

I don't find it annoying persay, but part of the reason a member is (or should be) elected is because of the ability to check pending horse registrations and do them in a timely fashion.

A notification just makes it one less step I've got to worry about, and I'm surprisingly not for that. Lol

LOL. See, I guess that's why I like it. The idea that the job maybe isn't being handled promptly. Not being a pres, or having any desire to be one maybe makes my perspective different. I'm wondering what's taking so long to get approval...

@ Katona your horse may have been rejected from the club; however due to an early bug you may just not have been notified about it. You might, kindly, PM the president of your club with the http:// link of your horse and ask if your horse was rejected; explaining you fear that the bug (most presidents will probably know which bug) may have kept you from receiving your notification and you'd just like to check on the registration status of your horse. I would think that most presidents would understand and willingly look into the situation for you. :)

I check every day, but a daily 'notice' wouldn't bother me.

@Aglet I wasn't speaking of an issue that happened, but a hypothetical.

I've never had a horse rejected, but I've waited several days to be approved in the past...

I check daily as well, sometimes more, and generally don't have any issues with this. An infrequent reminder wouldn't affect me, but for some people it may be helpful. So long as it wasn't too frequent I wouldn't find it annoying.

I know this is a bit older, but it's something that I was going to suggest.  Life's been a bit busy for me lately and every now and then I tend to forget to check the club page (It's terrible I know.)  I'm one of the people who would really benefit from this I believe.  I know it should be easy enough to check the page, but we all get busy now and then.  It could even go on the 'your activity' page, "the Thoroughbred Club has 5 pending registrations" or something.  I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but I think a once daily notification or a sidebar thing, something that wouldn't really bother everyone too much.  (I hope that makes sense)  I have found that there are clubs where registrations can sit for weeks at a time, even for the whole month.
