Perhaps we can have a small feature section for RPs that have recently switched their status from "Full" to "Apply" or "Open"?

Could be useful for long-running RPs that switch status due to needing more players.

It doesn't sound too bad, but people can always advertise their roleplay in #rp_advertising on the discord and here in the status bar. You can also make a new interest check or bump the original. It is just a matter of getting your roleplay out there, and there are already a few ways to do so.

I can probably see some troll/shitposter repeatedly changing their RP's status from full, to apply, to full and back to apply again just to clog up the section too.

Just code say a 24 hour delay on it being listed as a change?

A 24 hour filter could work, but as what Poi said it could be used to spam on a daily basis.

I do feel that clarity in what's available is in need of improvement, but I feel as though there are some other alternatives that would be better suited for discovering what roleplays are open. For starters, a filter on Apply, Open, and Closed would be a suitable option, but in reality not everyone looks at the Roleplay section for an RP they wish to join, but rather the Interest Check section. The interest section is an advertising board and the topics that are at the top are the fresh and current roleplays. Need a boost, bump your interest check thread. Afterall it's there to see if people are interested.

Sadly the Apply, Open, and Closed section assumes that the GM even plays attention to this part of the thread structure. I have seen a large majority of GMs forget this part, or have become too lazy to change it... even if its right there. If you have the players you need and the interest check isn't up at the top anymore, then there is little chance that someone will pop on by and join as the Roleplay Section moves a lot faster and is less explorer friendly than the Interest Checks.

i guess i must've been bleeding in the eye when i saw people advertise their RP 3 times in an hour in the status bar

Yeah... That's a bit of an overkill.
