Global Alpha Test Start Date

It may have been accepted but who said it will be in SE's database come selection, it may not be there now even, just a flag saying he has already applied stopping him applying again, he will just not be included in the selection next time round.

Acknowledging receipt of an application is meaningless unless he gets in. I have had many job applications acknowledge receipt of them, but a lot less giving me an interview, this is no different.

That kind of form actually compares your application with the data on your account automatically. It's not just a fire and forget e mail form that you can just send whatever the conditions. When the application was opened several people complained that they weren't able to apply, and then they noticed that the reason was simply that their account wasn't active (they didn't initially read the rule).

To verify, you can try applying to the beta right now yourself. The system will immediately tell you that you're unable to apply because your account is already applied.

I'm glad they did.

Why saturate the forums with a thread on the same subject over and over. Just keep it all in one spot.

Please, let's not insult each other's intelligence. It's not very becoming. Not only that thread was not a duplicate of any other, as it involved a very specific issue. There are still multiple threads on the generic "Baaaaah! Why didn't I get accepted!?!" topic, and none of them has been touched.

Quite obviously duplication or redundance aren't the issue here. Trying to divert attention towards that issue is a tad disingenuous.

The thing is that will be a flag on my account, not the database which is remaining intact until after beta (I would imagine) however the application could go in, then when they run the selection script, that checks whether the account is active or inactive, rather than when the application is submitted.

Perhaps they have yet to get to those other threads. At any rate, my point was that multiple threads on the same subject don't really need to exist, whether they're exact clones or not. And I really have no reason to divert from anything, so that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. lol
