Deadline in Application Process

Not sure where to ask this.   I have a question, and I’m sure this has been addressed, but as a general courtesy to players who put in an application to ‘join a game’, why not have an application deadline as a suggested standard?  For instance, “If you DO NOT get a reply by this date and time, it is likely a NO (for whatever reason). I wish you luck with future applications.”   I get that this would not work in all situations, but if a game gets 20+ applications for 1 open slot, would a suggested deadline for a reply or no reply not be a plausible solution?  I am new to Roll20, and I apologize if this issue has been discussed in past posts ad nauseum, but is there a standard of etiquette (and perhaps that too strong a word) that we might follow that could streamline and add finality to this process for both DM and player benefit?   Thanks in advance,   Cyric 

I agree, but sometimes as a DM, the time it takes to find the a player can vary drastically. I've found a 5 players in a span of one afternoon, - Other times, it may have taken me up to a week to find a full team. I think it's more important for DM's to clearly mark when a game is full. I always make an effort to update my game/post, right at the top with the following, before then removing the game from a forum or listing... > PLEASE NOTE - Applications have now been and invitations have been sent out, I'm currently just awaiting invites to be accepted before removing this listing. Going with this logic, a player should be able to feel confident that they're never too late to apply.
