I have all of this covered in another post but I want to give a quick overview here so people get the jist of it:
1. Make a post in introductions, that will get you build access to the "submissions" and free build worlds.
2. Then just go build a house in submissions
3. After you're done making something, make a post in the Submissions forum.
4. If you're approved, you'll be given build access in Equestria and Cloudsdale. You'll see a hidden forum appear called Builders, make sure to read that before doing anything.
Overview of the process

I had the title of the other announcement post saying "Post here for build rights", and people thought that was the only step. So I changed it to "post here to make a submission", and now they're posting saying "this is my submission". I just want to make this as easy to understand as possible for people.

I understand, I could see how they could have got confused...the submission wasnt the problem for me, its finding Northern Ponyville now to stake out my first building.

To help with that part, I trimmed it back to just the one town instead of 4 copies, and I regioned it so nobody is able to build outside of it.
The initial rush is over, so we can start to relax a little bit and spend more time on helping people.
I'd really love to make it so people can skip the introduction, but then we'd have to watch out for griefers destroying people's submissions.
And if we let people skip making the submissions post, they usually skip reading the builders forum, and get in trouble when they just start random building in the new world.
So its like no matter what I try, its going to be this complicated procedure.

Better complicated with quality than simple with failure, IMO.

Its not too overly complicated...its structured...griefers wont bother with it, people who actually want to do it will follow the directions...I personally like it and it's a good 'application process'.
