Things to point out in this app/things you really don't want to do:
Although this is an exaggeration(a pretty big one at that), it basically sums up what a lot of people do. Bland, boring answers that frankly nobody wants to waste even a minute reading.
Some broken english; you usually make a better impression if your app has nice, easy to read english(recapping on what Anna said about "dnt tlk lik diz"). Even if you say things like "my english is not good", that's all the more reason to type it out nicely, it'll show that you actually tried your hardest to get your points across regardless of the fact you don't speak it well.
Spelling mistakes; This one doesn't really need a long explanation. If your app has spelling mistakes that means you spent very little time on your app, and didn't proof read it over. The
little red lines appear for a reason, yaknow?!
Almost no personality; Again, this one doesn't need a big explanation. You should be making an effort to express YOUR unique personality, even more so if none of the players/GM's know you well.
Not following the format; even though i followed the format in this horrible app, there are people who do this regardless. If you didn't even make the effort to read the outlines for the apps, then why should they waste their time making you a GM?
Forgetting the 5 questions; iv'e seen this a number of times. It pretty much intertwines with the not following the format. Don't read the outline, your most likely not becoming a GM in SoulMS anytime soon.
Writing too much in your 5 questions; guys, i know it might be tempting to explain and what not, but theres really no need. The entire reason they say one to two word responses is because thats really all they need.
Lying about your age; Yeah, this has happened before, don't even waste your time. They'll find out and then your chances are pretty much zero to none even after your 14.
Copying and pasting from other servers; Really now? This is the epitome of a lazy and effortless person. Don't think they won't find out either, it's not that hard to see if you've used that app/a very similar one on another server.
Under the required age (14); Kbye

On-forum mistakes aren't the only way to screw up your chances, try not to mess up in game either:
Getting into an argument with players/GMs; Nobody want's a GM that nobody can get along with.
Making a bad first impression to the GM's; You're basically screwed. Try to at least SEEM good for a first impression, because honestly it's pretty hard to work yourself back out of that ditch.
Asking other players/ a GM if your app was good/respond to your post; Although technically they're not asking you to read it, this is still pretty annoying(well at least i think so). If a GM likes your app, they'll possibly post some positive feedback. If there were some things you could do to change it they'll say so. If it's a waste of time, they won't even respond. Regardless of what they do, they don't need YOU reminding them of THEIR job.
