On June 17th, I received an email that my request to be an editor was approved. I was so excited! I selected a review right away, made some minor edits, left a comment with suggestions, and returned it to the author for a revision. Three days later, which I understood to be the due date, the author still had not provided a revision. This whole time, I was unable to click on the review to make changes because it was in the hands of the author, not me. I figured that this would be taken into account for the three-day deadline.
The next day, the review was gone. Under My Tasks, instead of saying that the review was awaiting revision, there was no review at all. Instead, it said that I hadn't taken any tasks! So I thought, okay, maybe it went back to the Task Market since the author didn't revise it?
But then I went to the Task Market, and that, too, was empty. It simply said, "There are no tasks yet". Now, on the page where I originally submitted my request to become an editor, it says that I have to submit a request! But I already did this, and I was already approved! What is going on?
I submitted a support ticket about this, but with all that's going on, I know it may be awhile before I get an answer, and I understand that. I just wanted to post this to see if this has happened to anyone else, or if anyone knows what's going on. I was really looking forward to being an editor, and I don't know what happened.
Thanks for reading.
