Application Process Example

[crone_mod]

Please note that the characters used for examples are not characters currently in play or currently applied. They were just selected to give examples of how we go through our process.

Things to note:

1. Homer #1 is without a vote and Jade skipped straight to Spock because she doesn't know Simpsons canon, but she does know Star Trek. She's hoping that two of the other five mods will know Simpsons canon and thus be able to make more educated assessments than she can. If there's only one other Simpsons-literate mod, she may go back to read the app and provide a second vote.
   
   
2. Cosmo has three dissenting votes, but Wanda was readily approved. Cosmo requires a fourth mod to be able to resolve the impasse and give any sort of stamp. You can see the sort of circumstance that may result in a later-submitted application being approved before an earlier one.
   
   
3. Vanilla Ice's application was clearly problematic from the beginning, so rather than a vote, it was moved directly to discussion.
   
   
4. Spock received a peer review with a dissenting opinion after Jade cast her reject vote. A subsequent mod could choose to agree or disagree with the peer review based on the concern about representing Spock in the application in a once-in-seven years situation as the exemplar of how he will be played.
   
   
5. Homer app #2 was noted as being a second application so that no mods would accidentally read it and give it the thumbs up before Homer #1 was taken on its individual merits.
   
   
6. App slot applications are color-coded so that even once they reach the supplemental requested column, they can still be distinguished from regular apps.
   
   
7. We do this with not just seven applications at a time, but an ever-changing list that reaches between 50 and 100 depending upon the application week.
