Player application

I have noticed somthing (over the last couple of week) while processing
application forms for my two games. I wanted to share it with the group
and ask your advice at the same time. It goes somthing like this.

I get a player application (or form results) on Monday morning by Monday
night the application has been turned around and a confirmation message
set to the player. By Tuesday morning the player has been added to the
games mailing list and is free to post. But does not, infact the player
does not post untill he/she has been coached or asked off list.  Even if
you send out a game post for them, then I don't always reply.

One of our Gms turns applications around slower, he can somtimes take a
week to turn the app around and his players always seem to start posting
stright away. The confirmation letter is the same and the game is the
same, apart maybe from the fact that he commands a warship and I
command a science vessel.

My question, do you think that if I slowed down my processing of the
application I would get a better player response, then just turning them
around stright away?

I have played in a few games that have taken weeks to turn my
application around and I have really looked forward to playing, it's a
type disappointment when the game folds a week later.

Thanks for your help in adavnce.:)
