improve forum app/appeal readability

Vouch

The issue is by default flarum won't copy formatting iirc. So people just continue to copy poorly formatted applications. Removing the threads and using something else had been on the cards when we were looking at a new forum but isn't something so practical here.

It's somewhat ironic that this is supposed to improve readability, because putting the entire template including formatting in a code block makes it significantly harder to read. There is a tradeoff between the readability of the template itself and the readability of the threads created with it.

! like this

object, I feel as if applications should be formatted slightly worse in order to test the competence of people who vote

↩  FromTimeToTime Just add a random text instead of a language after the opening ticks, like this: ```text

What about something like:

Blah blah make a thread with the title and answer the questions:
(you can copy the pre-formatted form below, shown by clicking on "Details"; leave a blank line after each answer)

1. Question 1

2. Question 2

! none ! 1. Question 1 ! ! 2. Question 2 !

Vouch, like I mentioned on Anzu's reinstatement, I often have a hard time reading applications
