I kind of disagree, no offence. But apps were open for days, and he was swept two months ago so it's not like there wasn't time to have it ready for when they opened. Why not app on the first day instead of cutting it close on the last? I don't think that's on the mods, I'm sorry.
But I am sorry that you missed the deadline and have to wait another month, that sucks. Hopefully if you do decide to try again you will get him back in next month.
I did app on the first day. They wanted revisions and I needed to figure out how to get new threads when all my threads were locked behind a community.
