WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
Animal applications for whitelisting
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:
I think pretty much everyone has experienced Fail Role-players playing as animals, me for example have ran into a raccoon who had the ability to use phones, a dog with the ability to cook food, a huge amount of foxes, bears and raccoons becoming "Tame" or "Domesticated". It's very rare for me to run into an animal roleplayer who roleplays their animal whitelist correctly.

Yes I understand that this looks weird and especially staff are going to point out the fact that animal whitelist is a great way for the server to make money, but there are things to take consideration for before deciding, examples: the quality of the roleplay would massively be improved since staff would acknowledge their RP skills first! leaning towards more realism and such. ALSO! the fact that you could easily apply first then pay later, disabling the ability to purchase whitelist until the accepted application is linked. OR! completely removing the ability to purchase the whitelist entirely (which I know will be a very unpopular opinion since it's a portion of the server's income).

The basic benefits to this would be the gained quality and realism of the animal part of SRP's roleplays, though it may be harder for SRP to gain an income from using this method, I hope that they mainly focus on the quality aspect of doing this. Some players may also be a little annoyed by the fact that people would now have to apply before purchasing or simply just apply in order to gain access to animals. Also mentioning the fact that not everyone is able to afford playing as an animal and so it would make it a lot easier for others to have more freedom with roleplay like their richer friends who're able to afford it.

only coz there'd be no point in doing something like this, when people would FailRP either way -

I've noticed a lot of the school faculty that act the same way as one would with animal whitelist. . Yeah, it's not as bad, but it's still something they do. I've seen plenty of school faculty do things they're not even allowed to an get away with it. - And even if this was something brought upon SRP, it'll always have that one kid that thinks 'this is funny' and act out a huge 800 pound bear being tamed by a 13 year green tag with 'experience' in this.

I actually suggested something similar a few months ago, but it was denied. If you want, you can read the thread here.

The main arguments against it are as follows:
- It's a restriction on players who simply want to purchase a package and roleplay
- Players who already have the whitelist would have to put an indefinite "pause" on their roleplay, as they would need to then apply
- Players can still break the rules even after having applied for a whitelist
- It would add to the authorization team's workload
- The whitelist is a good source of monetization for the server, and restricting it would turn people away
Plus as few others that aren't directly relevant to the motives behind your suggestion.

I am personally in favor of adding a basic whitelist application for the package, but if you want a shot at it you'd need to address these issues.

I understand where this comes from. And good intentions might I add.
But it would indeed be restricting for players to pray they get accepted, and don't? I would think that fails the whole purpose
of purchasing it. Might as well make it free to be an animal and just apply for one.

copying my post from the previous flavor of this suggestion

-1 for the sole reason of i feel like this would cause the issue of people either buying it without applying, or applying and buying before it was accepted., and will cause issues for the staff team.
