I see, that when posting the thread that includes the staff application, it appears in Moderated Mode... Is it possible to change it and appear as a normal thread?

Those settings depends on your forums settings. There's nothing built into this which makes it have to be "moderated". Works perfectly fine on my board and several others just like that. So I would check your forums settings
