mails with rejection or acceptance are never send automaticaly
such a short time (4 minutes) only means a meta editor was looking at the new applications just at the moment you made yours
I did find 2 applications. Both made on the same day and both rejected.
The one Jimnoble mentioned (number 153259} was the second one
The first one was 153253
For both a rejection email was send to you.

We don't have a record of them if any were written. One or more of the reasons in the standard email below will apply.
You might want to white list any email from the dmoz.org domain in your spam filters.

Hi Jim,
I can't understand how applications that were submitted in 2011/start of 2012 could still be pending, yet an application submitted on June 15th gets rejected within days. I guess that suggests its not a typical queueing system - do certain sub-categories just get more priority (because meta editors within the parent category manage new applications efficiently). I'm guessing that my application for http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Concerts_and_Events/Guides/ is in a parent category that doesn't have many assigned meta-editors, and so my application is placed in a large queue of general applications?
Thanks
Mel

It's not a first in first out queue, it's a pool of applications. Meta editors are volunteers and process whichever ones they feel competent to process when they have the spare time and inclination to do so. Also, meta editors have universal permissions and aren't assigned to particular branches.

Your applications of 2012-08-21 and 2012-08-23 were declined.
Before applying again, I suggest that you re-read the previous rejection emails and work out what the problem is.

Hi Jim, I only received the standard email rejection without the Reviewer's comment. There's no way for me to identify what exactly is wrong despite writing the information as accurately as I could.
Can you please check on my reapplication last 2012-09-05? Again, I did not receive any e-mails if this was approved or not. Since I already whitelisted dmoz.org, I suspect that the dmoz server is having random mail sending problems.

Declined again. As I asked previously, please study our previous emails and work out which common reasons apply to you before applying for what will be the last time.

If the email only included a list of common reasons and no specific reason than you can be sure that one or more of the common reasons is appicable and that there was no reason to include a specific comment.
Being able to determine which of the common reasons were valid for your application is something you must be able to do yourself. It is very similar to the task an editor must do every day.

Hi Jim, my email records state that my last reapplication was on 2012-09-05, which was declined. I was about to resubmit the application with some changes today but it appears that I have some pending application? If that is so, can you check the current status? Thank you

It's pending. Closing this thread now that the matter is being discussed in http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58420
