Please explain how this "limbo" happens if I do an online registration at 2am but doesn't happen if I do an online registration at 2pm.
There isn't a person walking through the system with me, making sure it worked right. I could understand an office that only accepts appointments or phone calls, but this is an online system that breaks that direct connection no matter what time of day you use it.
This is the same difference irl between:
- a post box you can leave your application
- a filing tray at the registration desk next to the clerk
For the later they have a real time handling of how much registration are coming in, and from who. They don't have to look at it realtime, but they have full control of the input and can either shut it down if needed, or immediately react to errors or issues.
It was a long time ago, but I once had a school clerk phone me right after I submitted a request, to tell me their system is dead and they want me physically come fill out the papers. For them it was a straight equivalent to the tray at their office, except it's digital.
They might immediately react to issues, and they might not, but anyone in that tray is still in limbo and everyone that filled out the forms but is now being... blocked from handing them over?... Is effectively in limbo too, just with slightly more knowledge of it.
