Assuming the person is a native English speaker. If not, the whole indication can give a false perspective.
Out of interest, what are these variables?
Also, without the intention of disregarding the hard work of the team, 3 weeks+ waiting times are not fast for a server you don't know but are interested in.
Assuming some don't pass in one go, you're asking people to invest multiple weeks(months).
Either way, I'm already loving the community so far. Beeing able to have a mature discussion regarding a topic on a forum is a rarity in itself.
Thanks for the contribution so far everyone!
[Edit] This just popped up in my head but consider this: Due to the waiting time beeing several weeks in some cases, some players prolly won't even wait if they get accepted or not. Resulting in alot of work, time and effort in basicly ghost applications.
