Hello,

I submitted an application to become a dmoz editor on 12/3/11 (per the requirements posted on this forum, I have waited more than 14 days since my initial application to post this inquiry).

My application information is below:

Display name: Kevin D.
Username: nyappraiser

I applied to edit the following category:

http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Real_Estate/Appraisal/Appraisers/Residential/United_States/New_York/

Could anyone here tell me the status of my application?

Thanks!

Regards,

Kevin

Okay, thanks...I just wanted to make sure the application actually went through because when I recently tried to log into dmoz through the editor login link to see if there was any update to the status, I couldn't log in and was given the error message: "User needs an email address verification before the user can login." - I received this message despite the fact that I did, in fact, already verify my email address back on the same day that I sumitted the editor application.

Any idea why I'm unable to log in and getting this seemingly erroneous message?

Thanks.

Hello again, I submitted an application to become an editor over 4 months ago. I was wondering if you could provide a status update...is it customary for this process to take so long?

Thanks.

Hi Kevin,
I've applied to become an editor a couple of times. The first time, it took a matter of weeks before my application was rejected, as the category I had applied to was spammy in nature and more suitable for an experienced editor. However, I applied again in December 2011 to become an editor of http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Concerts_and_Events/Guides/, and 5 months later its still awaiting evaluation (I hope). So I don't think there is any definitive rule for waiting time, it just depends how busy the editors are at that point in time - I completely sympathize with you though as I'm in exactly the same position. Good luck!

Thanks
Mel
