Two points !. From the number of complaints and no one quoting a response from FTDNA how many of you have put in feedback on this 2. Would it not be better to use the approve button and having them in the project and sorting it out and even finding the correct project for them and latter unjoining them if necessary than loosing them altogether if the system isn't working. If you accept them you get there email address.

1. I have, but haven't posted the responses. They all amounted to, "we will pass this suggestion on to IT." We all need to complain about this if there's going to be any improvement in the situation. 2. If I'm going to simply approve everyone, I lose the main purpose of requiring approval: to get their lineage out of them. If you don't get it then, you may never get it, and I consider test results without a lineage worthless. Approving their request to join doesn't mean they'll follow through and buy a kit, so I may not get their email address that way. I don't think FTDNA realizes how much hand-holding some people require before they'll make the plunge, and if they just disappear, I've no way to reach them.
