Applications

Taking applications for a rank, and deciding on them.

Applying​

/apply

The bot asks which rank you are applying to and puts the questions for it in front of you. You only see ranks you are actually eligible for, so an empty list means nothing is open to you right now rather than something being broken.

You get a DM when a decision is made.

Reviewing​

/applications list status: pending
/applications view id: 88
/applications review id: 88 action: recommend notes: <why>
/applications decide id: 88 action: approve

Two stages, and they are separate on purpose.

Review is a recommendation with notes attached. Intel staff use it to say what they found before anyone decides.

Decide is the decision. Approving it ranks the person, in Roblox and in Discord, and DMs them.

/applications sits at HR. The review stage sits with intel staff, so a group can put a check in front of a rank without handing out the power to grant it.

Which ranks accept applications​

Each rank chooses whether people reach it by points or by applying. See Ranks and points.

A rank in application mode ignores points entirely, however many somebody has. That is how a group stops the bot promoting people into ranks a person should be deciding on.

Who applied​

The applicant's identity is frozen onto the application when they submit it, so a reviewer six weeks later sees who they were at the time rather than who they are now.

It's not working​

/apply shows no ranks. Nothing is open to you. Either every rank above you takes points rather than applications, or the ranks that do accept them are above what you are eligible for.

An approved application did not rank the person. The bot needs an Open Cloud key for that group to write ranks to Roblox. Without one it records the decision and cannot apply it. Ask Ben.

The applicant never got their DM. They have DMs closed. The decision still stands and /applications view shows it.

Two people decided the same application. The first decision stands and the second is refused rather than overwriting it.

You approved the wrong one. Rank them back with /setrank. The application keeps its decision, because rewriting the record to hide a mistake is worse than the mistake.
