Reason for rejection?

Hi,

I'm currently an editor of four years standing with nearly 1000 edits. I look after serveral cats with 500+ sites. I applied to edit the main cat which is one level up from me, which has 5000+ sites, which has two editors, neither of which has edited anything for over a month.

I was rejected with no explanation. In fact, I haven't officially been told yet, I just see it in my request history. I don't have any spam filters in place. I asked the meta who refused me why i was rejected but haven't had a reply.

1. Am I entitled to know why I was rejected?
2. Does a record exist of this?
3. If the meta doesn't respond, should I just re-apply?

Any advice welcome

BTW, I haven't given my dmoz name (and I won't) as I don't want to create a ruckus about this, just want to find out what the problem is so I can act on it

This forum is to discuss new editor questions, not existing editor issues. You should probably post this question in the internal editor forums.

Feedback was down for a few days. I'm sure messages were lost both ways. Try your message one more time.

The problem was actually a bad e-mail address, not that feedback was down. Having contacted me twice by feedback before figuring that out, I'm only just now able to explain things to the editor.
