I think you understood this wrong =),
I think most people who likes/dislikes an application, just want to give their feedback to the leader if they want the applicant in the clan or not.
Its not because your application is bad. I saw way better applycations with more dislikes but i saw much worse too,
just 3 sentence or something like that with 4-5 likes, just because people talked with him and thought he would fit
very nice.
So dont take it offend from us, its just the simplest way for the members to give their feedback, as we dont have votings anymore.
