What should fail a Discord moderator application immediately?

Integrity at 1–2. A polished raid answer does not save someone who would not recuse a friend.

Should every reviewer use the same axes?

Yes. Judgement, integrity, hours, writing, server knowledge. Change the labels only if the whole team agrees.

Where should the score live?

Copy it into staff chat for a one-off. On ApplyDesk, leave the notes on the application so the next reviewer sees why you said trial.

Hours

Realistic availability vs “I'm always here.”

Writing

Specific and short beats long and generic.

Have they actually been here, or is this a cold apply?
