No revisions, when revisions are a very common part of an app process, reads as only getting one shot to do something perfect. One shot every, what is it, 3 months or so, to guess from very few examples, how this mod team wants you to do the personality section of your app. It IS a big deal to anyone who will or would be apping. I have already heard quite a number of people say that they will no longer consider this game as a game to app in because of this policy, or that they are no longer considering apping a second character.
This is not a matter of "just put more care into it" It's a matter of having to guess just how exactly a group of people you don't know will expect you to write a character section. Even if it's meant to help applicants, it does not at all see that way.
I have no problem with beta-testing. I think the beta testing is a wonderful idea as long as the betas have proper guidelines so that when a beta says it's good, the mods will think the same.
A policy that chases away potential players is not a good policy. A policy that discourages current players from apping another character is not a good policy.
