Dear Sir/Madam:

I first applied for the editor position on: http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Video_Games/Game_Design/Development_Tools_and_Software/
under the username "eik" on Jun 11th.

I immediately got an e-mail verification request. Then my app was rejected apparently because there was another former editor with the same "popular" name, "Eugene Kim."

I was then asked to re-apply. So I did under the user name "dreik" for the same category.
This time, however, (it's been at least 3 days), I did not get any e-mail verification request.

I can tell the account "dreik" is indeed associated with my e-mail from clicking the "forgot password" link.

Should I try applying again? I'd appreciate any guidance.
Thank you.

Eugene Kim

Some of the tools that we would use to investigate aren't available right now. I hope they'll be back up by tomorrow when I'll respond further.

I'm sorry to say that they are still down.

Try to workaround things:
If you've still got the 1st application confirmation mail, try clicking the link on it again... (logically, it should give an error)
Then/otherwise, please re-apply for the category (whitelist dmoz.org first to avoid the confirmation being eaten as spam)
The application process itself is still working. :2cents:

I never got a confirmation mail. So to re-apply, should I create a different login name again?

If the system refuses the same name or if you'd prefer a different one, yes.
