This is for this whole thread, really, including your replies to me.
You guys do realize that nobody is looking for specific names of who was rejected, right? Or saying they'd like to out the person that was rejected? I feel like you guys are no longer seriously reading anything we're saying and are just trying to defend the system. :/ Look, I know I can be annoying, I know it sucks to have people questioning you or disagreeing, especially if they're friends or acquaintances. But you're giving me the impression that you're just jumping down Demothi's throat here and putting words in her mouth, and that's not cool. :(
So here, maybe I can spell this out a little better, alright? As RPers, people are generally used to apping at comms where their apps are visible to the public. This is just fact. A lot of comms don't have players email the apps like you do, and I really like that you do that, so ffs, don't take this as complaining about that. I'm not.
Comms with apps visible, which, I'm sure, are most communities, make it easy to see how many out of a total population of appers were accepted and rejected. People are used to this. People are fine with it, usually, or they wouldn't be apping to those places. Nobody (usually) runs around pointing fingers at them and going "OH-HO! YOU WERE IN THE 10% OF PEOPLE WHO GOT REJECTED! 10% OUT OF 30 APPERS! THAT'S 3 WHOLE PEOPLE! BOY DO YOU SUCK!" In a place as nice as this, none of us are going to go talking smack about those who didn't get in. I feel like you guys don't trust us, because that's how you're coming across.
