While it would take whoever is in charge of app chat that night the five or so seconds it would take to click on the application to get the character's name and their starter (and to make sure that the applicant has the right password/using the right application form) the applicant could also spend that time posting said application. It makes things run smoother for us, and helps get the acceptance/pending/rejection notices out somewhat on time. Five AM applications, never again. And it could also stop those kinds of misunderstandings from happening again. By the time I saw that thread the problem had already been solved. In fact I kind of head-titled at it a little because I knew their samples were in the post when we worked on applications.
And yes, there is always the fact that people will fix their revisions inside their entry, and to my knowledge the people who have linked their application and were pended for something in the past usually respond to the pending notice with said corrections. But, there could always be the case that they don't tell us. Pendings are always the first thing that gets done in application chats. If we don't see any response to the pending notification, then we move on.
I think you can rest easy on the email application bit? If route were smaller I could see it working, but as it isn't-- keeping up with email applications on top of every other comment the mods tend to get on a daily basis can be quite taxing. And as you've mentioned, there is always the off chance that it could be somehow sent to spam, or someone could have botched the mod email before sending it, or the applicant's acceptance/pending/rejection notification somehow ended up in their spam folder and so on and so forth.
And while I'm just a tech mod and can't really pass any rules/have my word be the word of a modly God, I can always bring your thoughts up to Ara or the others! Every opinion counts, after all~
oh gosh, I hope this was okay /)A(\ ara you can jump back in whenever you want-- I just wanted to let Hat know that the screening links problem was fixed since I knew about it ;^;
