There's a reason P Mods can't mute them anymore, and in my opinion it's related to the general downfall of Jagex as a company. But that's not a subject I feel comfortable going into detail about on the forums.
And Buff, I'm only getting two chances from that, not three - everyone deserves a second chance. If there really are three, feel free to clarify what it is I'm missing, but "denied twice = perm denied" doesn't sound like it's offering a third chance.

In reality, people really are getting 3 chances because you apply, rejected. Fix your ap, rejected again. Then you get a "who gets the hex question" to actually work out the math.
Some people honestly read what it says on the forums, but they just don't "get it."
Yes, it's being a softy, but the truth is, if you have a friend in this clan, and your ap is rejected, your friend is going to pm you and tell you where you messed up. So your second ap will be perfect. We all know that happens. (a high % of aps are first time rejected.)
So, what about the others, who actually applied not knowing anyone? The opportunity to answer a question to show they understand proves they read it.
I know it's stretching the rules, but I strongly support it.

I wanted to permanently deny on the second fail. Divi is too soft

. But honestly, if they put in the time to do a math question then they probably want in pretty bad.

@Sereg, oh don't worry, I saw what you wrote.

And they do get three chances. They give an app, fail it due to not reading the thread. Second app, failed again for the same reason. *Then* they get a third chance by being offered a scenario to prove they read the lottery portion of the thread.
@Mila, it only proves they read the lottery section. Isn't that the point of the whole "first letter of your name" thing? To prove that they read the thread at least up to that point? Imo there should be a second thing like that towards the end.
@Robyn, read above. :p

I may have cheated and just scrolled through looking for something along the lines of 'do this when you apply to prove you've read the thread'.
Although to be fair, I have read it several times in the past, going back as far as 80ish Dungeoneering when I first read it.

I got 200m Dungeoneering today. I know I've only done about 5m with you guys, but I thought I'd share it here anyway.

The 2 days I spent -not- Dungeoneering because I had 199,999,999 xp was torture, waiting for the right moment to get it.
I'll be back in flooring tomorrow, I have no real goals in RS other than having fun, Dungeoneering is fun. So yeah, see you tomorrow.
