Description
It's not much use for users to just click a box to apply. Why should we grant or deny it? I don't personally know each and every single one of my users. I want them to fill out a CCK form that tells me why they think they should be granted this role.
#1
This would be a great feature.
Especially if you think sometimes you need to know some additional information to grant a specific site functionality.
Subscribing.

I think the best solution for this, IMHO, would be to convert apply for role in a cck field.
In this way, with the help of modules like conten_profile, it would be possible to setup different tabs in your profile, and giving user the possibility to apply for role adding new informations.
All these new informations would be automatically stored in the user profile.
#4
man, i can't think of any more basic or essential feature than this! seriously the applicant has got to have a reason. subscribing.
#5
Marked #330461: Textfield possibility also when applying for role as duplicate. However this feature is absloutly necessary in my eyes. Saddly I am not able to write it.
What does the maintainer think of this?
#6
CCK doesn't really apply here... Role Applications aren't nodes, so there really isn't a way to utilize CCK, unless we hijack the form widgets in some way.
I am working on a project where there is an application process, however... I think webform.module would be a better pairing for this functionality.
I think I may end up writing a module that connects webform and apply_for_role. It wouldn't be too difficult to pull a webform form into the Apply for role form... a settings item to choose which webform node to use for apply_for_role.

@6
I think making webform a prerequisite to collect a small reason while the user is applying is overkill.
I was thinking more along the lines of hooking into the core profile module. Perhaps being able to assign a profile-text field to 'apply for role'.
I definitely agree this is a needed feature. We just need to figure out how to make it work for the most amount of people.
#8
I have a use for this too, and could use a solution that connects to the webform.module OR one that just had a simple reason attached. I would also like it if there was the option to add a description to each role (either through another module or this one.)
#9
+1 for this feature. I need it also. Even a simple text field would do.
#10
I also would like to see tihs feature.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how to have a form with name, address, and textarea that prepopulates from saved address in ubercart...
