That would be in the internal Editor Produced Tools forum.

You're forgetting that the ODP does not exist as a marketing tool for webmasters. When you suggest a site to add to the directory you are helping us to build a comprehensive directory. We are not here to help you advertise your web site. We appreciate your suggestion and someone may add it to the directory in the future if they find the content suitable for that category. Thanks.

Well someone resubmitted your site on 23/Aug/2003 04:18:33 EDT using your e-mail address.

It's still the same as it was above. It's listed in the Regional category, but not in the Designers category. As you can imagine, everyone and his brother is a web developer these days so the unreviewed submissions in those Designers categories never seem to get much better. Looks like you just resubmitted to the Designers category. Probably not the best thing to do as this often has the affect of overwriting your original submission with the new one. Depending on how the editor works on the unreviewed listings here, this could have a very negative affect. If the editor works on the listings in date order, then you just went to the bottom of the pile. If the editor works on them ordered by URL then you might have a chance, but if they work on them by title then you are once again going to have a long wait as you listed your title as 'Web Design Company'. BTW - Nice description in the new submission

Re: Status of application 835f2c7840054320636 The following are the points from the standard reject letter. [*]Incomplete application. Insufficient information has been provided in some fields including reason, affiliation and/or Sample URLs. [*]Improper spelling and grammar. [*]Sample URLs are inappropriate for the category which one has applied to edit. They may be too broad, too narrow, completely out of scope, poor quality, or in a language inappropriate for the category. All non-English sites are listed in the World category. Applications for World categories that include sites only in English will be denied. Likewise, applications for World categories that include sample URLs in languages other than the one appropriate for the applied category will be denied. [*]Not properly disclosing affiliations with websites that are, or have the potential of being, listed in the category. [*]Titles and descriptions of sample URLs (and other information provided) were subjective and promotional rather than unbiased and objective. ODP editors do not rank or write website reviews. ODP editors provide objective and unbiased descriptions of websites and their content. [*]Self-Promotion. Application which leads us to believe that the candidate is interested primarily in promoting his/her own sites or those with which the applicant is affiliated. The ODP is not a marketing tool, and should not be used to circumvent the site submission process. If this is an applicant's motivation for joining, then we ask him/her not to apply. Editors found to be inappropriately promoting their own site will be promptly removed. [/list:u] 6 items. Not a lot, but they cover most of the basics of why an application would have been rejected. If the reject e-mail you received included these 6 items, then you can be sure that your application was rejected because of one of these items. The reasons are pretty straight-forward and if you read them carefully, you will probably see where you went wrong. If you honestly review these items then you will probably see that one of them applies. If there is a particular item that you don't understand then maybe we can clarify that here. Also read the information provided in the FAQ and General Advice thread at the top of the Becoming an Editor forum. The information is there for people if they really want to find it.

I've granted access for these two <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Is it just me, or is this thread a little wonky? Might be time to start a new one anyway.

I gave you access to the Adult forum and moved your submission request there <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

You have access now <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok - all done <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes you can. All set <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

pvgool, you should be seeing that forum now <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

All ready chrisp <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok Anne. You're all set to go <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm not seeing any application in the queue now so I'm assuming that it was rejected. Sorry, but I as we don't keep records for rejected applications I don't know why it was rejected. I assume that you didn't get a rejection notice. If you're using your Hotmail account, you might want to check in the Spam folder to make sure the reject notice isn't in there. All I can say is to maybe apply again. Make sure you read everything in the first post in this forum titled FAQ and General Advice before you apply.
