clones do not have to be approved to be in the game?

One of my new players said that he could not make a pick for himself but he could make a pick for his clone.  He was still in a pending state because I hadn't approved him yet.

I'm guessing that the clone was automatically entered into the game without approval, is that an intentional loophole in the system?

I think either one approval should cover the player and all clones, or the admin should have to approve the player and clones individually, I don't think clones should be able to bypass the approval process.

Sure, this is a "feature".  Seriously, this is a good catch and I've written a ticket to take care of it, it isn't an intentional loophole.
