Thumbs down Trying so hard to be an editor

I've had my application rejected twice, the second time because I haven't disclosed all the websites I've worked on or designed or marketed or affiliated with, the problem is that I'm a web designer and been so for over 8 years, I don't even remember all the websites I've designed or worked on, I did however disclose the only website I own in my application but still got rejected after 2 weeks of having my hopes up

What am I supposed to do now? and is there anyway to appeal this decision?

There is no appeal, but unless you have been told other wise, you are always welcome to try again.

Here is the is that a meta editor could see:you claim to have been in web development for 8 years, but you only provided one URL. On the surface that is a serious nondisclosure. You would need to remedy this in any future application. Take the time necessary to put together a reasonably complete list of sites that you have been affiliated with. If you list 100, and miss one, the metas are not going to view it as a credibility crisis. If you list one and miss 100, your application is dead.

Disclosure: I do nto review editor applications and all my advice on this topic is third hand.

Well i was an editor in a category far from reach of my own websites topics, but somehow they found i run this site and i was removed. Now would you really want to be an editor when things like that can happen ?

I actually applied to be editor to a category I'm submitting to - Is this going to likely work against me?

No, but every time you apply and fail to list your website, or try and tell a meta editor that YOU don't think you should have to list any more than you have, you've sent up a huge red flag.

And, if one of the websites you include in the application is yours, you have further demonstrated that you have no good grasp of the editing guidelines or how to apply them.
