I think that badlion has grown so during the fast 2 years, many modifications have been made in the server and on the forums but the application's system is still the same. Here are the changes that I think should be made as soon as possible.

So I ve been trying to become an arenapvp/host for around 8 months now. I made a total of 3 applications, The first which I do not have the exact date for was sent around 8 months ago, the second was sent on the 4th of March, and the last one I sent 1 week ago, 9th of September.
I never got an answer saying "you got denied", "pending", or "accepted". Yes, I do know that when someone gets denied mods don't have to reply saying they got denied. So then I assumed I got denied for all of them except the last one which might of not been seen yet.
All I am asking is that first of all, we do not have to send our applications via mail, but specialize a section in the website just for the applications with the format of each type of applications. I do realize that if mods do tell the applicants what made them get denied, they would simply fake their applications and try to make one that doesn't correspond to them. But, that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be informed that they got denied. A simple message saying "you got denied, better luck next time, you can apply in 2 months starting from now". And also another faint i noticed in the system is that we as applicants have to redo our application 2 months after our first one, the question is, is it 2 months after it got denied? or 2 months after the person itself made it? because if its the first case, the notion of time could cause some trouble for us :/

I hope didn't make any dumb mistakes or something and its nothing personal but I try to do my best in my application and take my time to do them, I would be more than glad if I got an answer from the other side, removing a weight off of someone's chest

Thank you for reading, -DNSKillers

Moderators don't deal with the applications, it's just the admins. I doubt 1 admin would have the time to send an email to every applicant saying "You got denied" or "Your application is being seen". The submission only section for applications might help but the departments get a decent amount of applications per month and there's a way that they all get seen to with the staff.

For the "2 month reapply thing", if you don't know that you got denied then how would you know when to reapply? I'd just wait 2 months after the application has been sent.

By the way, it took me around 2-3 months to get a response from the Minigames section and around another month after that from the UHC section. It took around 1 1/2 months for me to get a response from the Arena section. I'm pretty sure my tournament application kind of died but that application was really bad so it's all good.

I know that the admins take care of the applications, I am not saying that they have to reply with denied since they don't have time,I am just saying that making an automated system on badlion.com that will make them for example tick if its denied or accepted and it will automatically transfer the application to another section. They do not have to reply to the application and also i am 100% sure that it will make their job easier to do.

This would be awesome, but as always, it's towards the bottom of an ever growing list of things for the devs to do. If you don't get a response in two months, you can assume you were denied.

Without dev support, the admins spend far too long on apps already.

I was aiming it more at the email side of things but yeah, would help them and would speed up how much staff can get hired.

There should definitely be another forum section just for applications (have them like the Donator questions section - you can't look at anyone's but your own threads)
A mod would comment if you got accepted or denied.
