Inquiry about Curator Application Status

Hi! I have submitted my application to become a curator two weeks ago, and I’m wondering when, where, and what form should I be expecting any response, if any. I understand that the administrators can be very busy, and I appreciate you guys’ hard work a lot, so I don’t mind waiting!

you can always email e.g. Tony (Iwane) directly — I did when my curator application was pending and he was quite prompt (and very kind to my less experienced past self) in responding!

What’s his email address?

Tony is the main person who monitors help@inaturalist.org

Thanks

I replied to you today, and I also sent you an email 11 days ago - maybe it got routed to spam?

Hello Tony, I am facing a very similar issue. It has been over a month since my application, and i’m wondering if the form failed to submit. I would like to know in case I need to re-apply.

I sent you an email about a week back and have not gotten a response. No rush, just making sure you didn’t miss it. Should I bump up the email in your inbox? the email i used is akunik@ufl.edu

Hi Andrew, I replied 10 days ago but forgot to CC your email address in the reply (applications get emailed from no-reply@inaturalist.org). I re-sent my response just now, sorry about that.

I’d applied to be a curator this past week but realized I hadn’t gotten any sort of confirmation email about the application being received. I just applied again in case the other one didn’t go through somehow and still nothing in inbox or junk folders. I saw a couple of closed topics from people about similar but thought the issue had been fixed. Any help would be most appreciated.

I moved the above question to a previous thread with the same question and reopened it for discussion.

I just replied to you now.

Hi Tony,
will the response from no-reply@inat be bundled into the same email I get every day with my daily updates? Or will it be seperate?
Thanks,
Orrin

It will be an email from help@inaturalist.org. Please be patient.

Thank you for the clarification, apologies if I came across as demanding/rushing

No, it’s my fault for not emailing and saying we received an application. The application gets sent via no-reply@inaturalist.org so the automatic reply never gets sent to the actual applicant. Something we need to update.

Ah I see no worries, please take your time and thanks again for all you do behind the scenes :)

I saw the email reply, responded, got a bounceback for the no-reply address after replying all but it looked like it went through to the help address. I waited a couple of days and then replied to the help address just to make sure that it did and have not heard anything from any of my emails. I understand that you’re busy but just want to make sure that my answer to your question did get through.

I responded to your last email 3 days ago, it was sent to the email address linked to your iNaturalist account.
