Yep, we're definitely going to work on making the task system (if we implement, nothing's set in stone, here) more FAQ- and Rules- related, like a quiz. And we'll also absolutely consider exempting veteran players if we do, as many of you have asked.
As for the apps--without repeating what I said to Aly up there, it's the app-stealing I'd like to address. I don't understand how linking deters app thieves...isn't the app public for the few days it's awaiting a verdict, anyway? If what worries you is the app staying up after acceptance, then of course, you can always PM the mods and ask us to screen it! We've done it in the past and we'll be happy to do it again in the future with any posted apps we receive, and we feel that would be safest and most convenient for everyone. We have the apps organized and on-file, other applicants can see what we look for, and applicants who don't want their app public can request to have it hidden from prying eyes.
Also, posting doesn't mean you can't put it in your journal, for your own convenience and that of castmates, as well as to fix any HTML mistakes you might find before you put it up for inspection. And as for typos...don't worry, we're a pretty forgiving bunch. We use computers, too! we know how finicky they can get.
I hope this cleared up some things and eased your mind concerning the new app rule! Thanks for taking the time to let us know your opinion. It's great to see everyone giving us feedback!
