Can a submitter's e-mail get blacklisted

Hi There

I work for a web development company and have made a number of submissions of my customer sites to DMOZ. However, I have now stopped doing this as I did not hear back, one way or another, and the site did not appear in DMOZ.

My questions are:
1) Do you ever blacklist submissions coming from a particular e-mail account (or e-mail domain), and not look at them?

2) We have our local info portal on our main url, and we will often put a customer site in a folder under the main portal. Although the customer has their own domain name, we will often use web forwarding of their domain to the folder on our portal. As the main portal is listed, would this disallow the customer site from being listed?

I am just concerned that previous inappropriate submissions have got me blacklisted somehow, and would like to try and address that. I have read your submissions guidelines carefully and I don't think any of the customer sites that I submitted infringed them.

I can send you the e-mail address these submissions were made under and the url of the web development company concerned (it's not the same as the e-mail in my profile).

Many thanks and looking forward to your response

This is quite possible, it would depend on how obvious it is that it is an independent site, and not part of the portal. We will never (what never? not ever!) list the redirecting url, so customerdomainname.com will be changed to portalname.com/subdomain for consideration, and if it appears to be a page on the portal (minimal content, framed portal menus) probably declined.

We do list sub domains (geocities et al), but only where we can readily deduce or locate information on the site that leads us to believe it is a standalone site that happens to be hosted on someone elses domain space.

We neither confirm or deny any of the possible measure we use to reduce spamming of the directory.

Look at other possiible reasons first, including the possibility that no one has yet looked at the site(s).

You are welcome to use the 'status' forums to check on individual suggestions, read the forum guidelines first, and include a clickable link to the category the site was suggested to. We don't do feedback on listings/rejections (and can't on 'not yet revieweds') so this is the only way of knowing if a site has been received (barring it turning up listed).

Nobody hears back, any way at all.

Some sites get reviewed more quickly than others.

Did you check the submittal status of these sites?

I hadn't checked submission status, so I will now.

Many thanks for your responses.
