Global Alpha Test Start Date

SE obviously was following the expected/general idea of what means to be active, as lapsed accounts were initially bounced as the application was opened.

Either some system problem caused the rule to change, or SE changed it intentionally. In the first case, fessing up and apologizing would go a long way, in the second case, that kind of rule changes need to be communicated, for the sake of transparency and even to allow those that tried to initially apply but couldn't to retry.

Just saw it in another thread - didnt know they where bumping them originally. I wonder if the apps got into the system even though it said it was bumping them.. lol

I agree with what you're saying btw (previously too), though good luck getting SE to say anything except "Please look forward to the next batch of invites" lol.
