…unfortunately this’ll take awhile. it’s still about 4,780 as of writing. but that’s down probably 1,000 from its peak! we finally have a hacky system to handle denials, so that’s really helping here.
we also missed a bunch of cool people, who we’re approving too.
we can now, finally, say that if you register, your judgement (whether approve/deny) should come down within 24-48 hours, although the deny email might take longer than that depending on circumstances.
That’s a hell of a lot of applications to go through! Take your time as you need and don’t feel too pressured by the sheer volume of applications.
a lot of them in fairness are easy denies, and that alone makes it pretty easy to do them in batches of 100 or so. i think i’ve cut down the total number by about 100 from posting so far
If its not too nosy to ask: What do most denied requests look like? Like, did they not answer the question or were they being dicks?
mostly the first, very occasionally the second; we ask them to reapply. unfortunately now we have a whole other problem which precludes us from currently sending any emails, so uh lol
