I am seeing a strange thing with patron modification requests.  I see requests
come through asking for modification, but nothing has been changed.  Looking
closer at the accounts, I see that the accounts are up for renewal.

I am thinking that people are checking their information and confirming that
their information is up to date.

I would like to propose two modifications to the modification requests.

First, I think there should be an preference to not be able to submit a request
unless information has been changed.

Second, perhaps a preference tied in with the first suggestion, that allows the
patron to select a check-box stating that they have reviewed all their
information, and it is accurate and up to date.  Perhaps this option only shows
when their account is due for renewal.  And perhaps the renewal reminder would
include a link to the modification page, asking them to review their
information and make any any necessary updates if necessary, but acknowledging
that the information is up to date.

I suggest this being an option, because some libraries might require fees or a
view of a current ID before renewing.

Third, even if all the patron is doing is renewing, we could have a preference
set to notify or not in the modification requests of the acknowledgement and
renewal.

Fourth, if there are other steps necessary, like a patron category that
requires a fee (that isn't automatically charged on renewal) or ID shown,
another preference would give admin the ability to have the account self renew.
 If all they have done is checked the acknowledge box and submitted, the
account renews.  This option is tricky, since a person could do this, then go
back and make changes.  But, those changes, would of course, have to be
reviewed.
