I'll share my two cents on this seeing as i'm a senpai and i have a very busy RL.
Yes, there aren't enough senseis for so many requests. But have you seen the latest applications on the sensei table? Not so many. And from those, only half (luckily) will pass. Being a sensei isn't easy. Even if you are a sensei you are still a member of the site and its RP. This means you still need to have fun, make your bios, ifhgt your friends, train yourself, etc etc etc.
I honestly think that sensei's and senpai's shouldn't take more than 5 students at a time. And that is sometimes too much. As a senpai i take 5 students and sometimes due to real life i can't train for 3 or 4 days. During that time i still log on...to see my vms, look around and such. Lets not forget that as much as i like training, its about 30% of all i like to do in the site.
And that list is a bit offensive and aggressive. I understand what you tried to do, but it is a bit too much. I try to reply to every VM someone sends me, even if all the requirements for applying and how many students i have are posted in my profile. Even when people don't read it and still ask, i reply. However, sometimes, i ignore them because...well....15 vms/pms in a day asking for training when you have in your profile that you are full at the moment and that you need people to get permission from your sensei....man, its not that hard to associate.
I think the problem was about 4 months (maybe more) were there weren't any sensei applications checked and tested. Hopefully with the new system, things will move forward at a different pace and we'll have a boost of senseis enough to help out.
