A player submits an application. The character comes from a series where everyone has complicated and over the top powers and their character is one of the very best and strongest. Think something like Fate Gilgamesh. Their app looks fine and nothing is wrong with it. Their personality is clear and they have submitted sufficient nerfs. However, you know the player is a power gamer. They always try to beat the game with their character, say things like their character can solve every event. They ask a lot of questions about how their character is really special and powerful so can they get special treatment in the game. If you turn them down, they'll complain about how the mods never let players do anything.

They wrote a good app but you know they're going to be a pain in the ass to deal with if you accept them. What do you do?

if you know this player is going to be a pain to deal with, it doesn't really matter what their app is like or who they play. you're the mod. you shouldn't need to write an essay on why it's acceptable to not let someone in your game. you just don't want to.

sometimes you just don't want to deal with someone you know is going to be a headache. life is way too damn short to grin and bear it. especially if it's your playroom. no. no headaches allowed.

so i would just decline their app. if they asked for a reason, it really depends on how avoidant you want to be. i personally wouldn't mind telling them that due to their past behavior in other game, i don't feel they'd be a good fit with mine and i didn't want to deal with their behavior. i don't want to have to one two three strike them out. i just don't want to deal with them.

i decline their app because of player complaints. i am still a player.

I would decline the app and feel 0 regret about it

ultimately as a mod of the game I get to decide who I let in and who I don't want to have to deal with. this person seems like a pain in the ass so I would just tell them "sorry, you're not a good fit for this game, thank you for your time"

100% decline the app. Players asking questions about special treatment and tipping their hand about their intent to 'win' the game is a perfectly valid and strong reason to turn down an app.
