I will have a think about it, but if I am being honest, the answer would be probably not.

My reasoning is as follows: You have to take into account, that every time there is a new registration to moderate, every admin and smod would receive an email.

So, if you have say 10 staff who this will apply to and 30 people register in an hour you are talking 300 emails an hour being sent out, just for moderation (in a medium forum, this is not an unrealistic figure, on a big board this could well be hundreds of registrations a day with dozens of staff, so you are talking over a couple of thousand emails just for this), . That is in addition to confirmation emails, birthday emails, subscription emails etc,. This would end up being a resource hog.

In addition, if your web host has a limit on how may emails that can be sent an hour and, say it only allows, for instance 300 emails/hour, you would be a bit buggered wouldn't you, as your host would probably suspend your account.

So, I am quite hesitant to add it, as I think navbar notifications are visual enough, and the whole point of not being logged into the forum is that you have a real life, and if you have planned it well enough, you will have staff to cover most of the day any.

In any case, when I use this hack on a forum, I always advise my potential members that it will take up to 24 hours to process the application, just in case it takes a while for a staff member to log in (usually takes less than 6 hours).
