1. Do not answer an application if your vote is neutral. You aren't contributing meaningfully to the voting process.
2. Do not repeat the advice someone else has already given, except to clarify a point.
3. Do not accept anyone with severely flawed grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and/or spelling. It will get on all of our nerves, we don’t want illiterates in a social group.
4. Not worthy of an immediate denial, but no application should have the line “I’m mature.” If you’re mature, you’d know not to say it. It’ll show for itself in the app.
5. If they’re not capable of reading the short list of directions, and are not capable of including all the information necessary, how can we expect them to follow anything else? Give em the no.
--- ii. It is preferable to remind applicants to use the correct spoiler tag with "You cannot win the game if you don't know its rules." as quoted from the first post.
--- iii. Optional rejection message: "GAME OVER. Would you like to play again? Insert credit: 10 days remaining."
--- iv. Two negative votes are required for rejection. Four positive votes are required for acceptance. Votes will be counted only if there is adequate reasoning behind them.
