This is what the new app form changes, because it gives clearcut guidelines and detail on what we want to see, what we don't like seeing, and, for example in the SC Section, the power levels that everyone ends up at in the beginning. We will be putting up a general but helpful HOW TO APP IN SC guide in the future to walk people through the process.
not all chars have a canon that gives that many details (The chars from Inception, as example). So, people have to figure out those details and it means that certain sections of the app end being very subjective.
This is part of grasp of character, however. Inferring your character's personality/strengths/weaknesses (character information section) from nuances found in canon is part of building how one plays a character, and this is actually something we like to see. The apps are judged based on how the player shows how tight their grasp of the character is.
rather than reject them immediately for something that perhaps only needed a better wording.
Character information sections that are solid with some minor quibbles like needing better wording will not be rejected -- the point of the process is to reduce instances of quibbles in this section. At most, they will receive questions for clarifications (clarifications are not revisions; we are not rejecting people just because we wanted to ask questions).
The problem I see with the chance is that it doesn't really benefit the player and it makes the mods look lazy.
We're sorry if this is true and this is how the players see it. In truth, outside of making the character information section easier to go through, the entire app process is actually going to be a potentially more work for the app team and the mods than the other way around, given that we need to coordinate more things (and faster, too) while still reading and processing the same number of apps.
