Don't bother waiting. Since this site has no unique content it will not be listed.

There's only one thing that puzzles me about your site - why link to an online casino at the bottom of the page?

The short answer is - NO. If we start reviewing a site for one member we would have to review them for all. Wait patiently, your site will be listed in due time.

I tried looking around in the admin features today, and I couldn't find an option anywhere to change those strings. Sorry. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />

Both sites are gone, thanks.

Since this thread is getting a little long, let's continue here.

Re: Family Camping site - no longer family camping Thanks Kevin. The site is gone.

As a matter of policy, we do not comment on editor removal. As always the editing community reserves the right to reevaluate sites that are in the index to determine whether they still indeed add unique content to the directory. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

Your site hasn't been looked at by an editor yet.

It's not abuse per se (in other words most likely it wasn't intentional), but it is something that will corrected. Thanks.

Since it's clear that you own both sites there's absolutely no reason to make you jump through hoops in order to change your URL. In fact I changed it myself. In the future simply submit an "update URL" request.

Re: DMOZ policies on advertising ? I personally reviewed the site. After nearly crashing my computer with the amount of pop ups (all of them are set on a timer so that after 2 or more seconds each pop up spawns a child and so on), I could find absolutely no unique content on this site. As such it's gone.

This thread really deviated from it's original purpose, not to mention from the Forum Guidelines. Discussing editor notes is really beyond the scope of this forum. Let's keep the discussion on topic. Thanks.

Re: Site Ignored since July '02 Please Advise One of the major purposes of this forum is so that submitters can learn from each others' experiences. Resource-Zone isn't an ODP help desk. Rather it's a resource others can use and learn from. To that end editing out your posts after getting what you want circumvents that very purpose, while being rude to those who read the thread after you. Same goes for PM'ing an editor, unless the content of the message would be in violation of our Forum Guidelines. The other exception would be in cases where you believe abuse occured, in which case it would be appropriate to PM or send feedback to a meta editor. In the future for general questions and inquiries, please utilize the forum as opposed to PM. That way everyone can learn from your experience. As opposed to just yourself.

This forum is not really the proper arena to debate whether lead generating sites are useful services. We are currently in the process of developing guidelines for this exact industry. Until then, these sorts of discussions are best held in a different venue.

Sites should not be denied listings simply on the basis of whether or not they use affiliate links. The determination is based, rather, on unique content. In this case I fail to notice any unique content on this site, and so I agree with its rejection.

Your site hasn't been reviewed yet. It's stitting toward the bottom of both queues - both of which are medium sized (around 100 sites).

Re: status please http://www.atlanticcityshotels.c I agree with you to a degree boardwalk. Sites should never be rejected simply because they have affiliate links. They should be evaluated on the basis of the content. You are a very borderline case. Reviews on your site are your own, but they cover the same ground as countless others' on other websites. This is what makes it difficult to evaluate the unique content on your site. That being said, I don't know what the solution is. We just can't let affiliate sites run rampant in the directory. You have to draw a line in the sand somewhere.

I would say it's an excellent category for a new editor. It's small (6), but has plenty of room to grow (9,000+ Google hits for "Pankration"), like gimmster said.

I personally checked the sites in the category in question. I deleted one. This thread has reached the end of it's usefulness. When the new guidelines are posted regarding Lead Generator sites, a notice will be posted here.

After we progress further in content differentiation, may we resubmit without worrying about our current listed site getting penalized? Definately. We don't penalize sites that are submitted in good faith. Make sure that the content on both sites is unique, though. Content that is shown on both URLs, by definition, would not be unique.

Educating the public about the roots of the ODP is never a bad thing. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

If you applied that far back you were certainly rejected. Feel free to reapply.
