It's there, but unfortunately in a rather large queue. This category is one of the areas that attracts huge amounts of spam and general poor quality submissions, so editors have to steel themselves before working there. I'm afraid I cant say anything other than "please wait". Sorry.
 

Hi,

Thanks for the very quick reply! This is much appreciated. As to the spam problem - I wish there was something I could do about it. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> I could point out some good reviews about Gimpsy ( http://www.supportforums.org/article105.html ) and such like, but I guess the Editor can't see it...

Considering that this particular category doesn't have an Editor, when would be an appropriate time to email the Editor that has the category ABOVE the one I submitted to? Is that OK to do it at all?

Thanks

MC

It is OK to do it, but don't hold out high hopes. It's one of the areas where I would expect the editor gets a lot of requests, and he/she might be fed up with it all by now. It's worth a try though.

Don't expect a reply from the editor. Many editors here have received 'hate mail' from aggrieved submitters, and once you get that you tend to be a bit wary of replying to anyone at all. If you get one, you're lucky, but don't expect it.
 

Thanks again!

Could you possibly tell me how many sites are awaiting in the queue for that category? If you can't disclose the exact number, any approximation will do...

There are just over 300 sites waiting for review in that category. I suspect that a large quantity of them will be inappropriate, but someone will have to go through and check each and every one to determine that. It's a long process I'm afraid.
 

Hello,

Could I ask some kind soul to examine the queue again and see if the 300 sites are still there?

Also, I have followed the escalation procedure to the letter. My impression is that with 300 sites waiting (if indeed that is the case) - noone will consider looking JUST at my site. Is that a reasonable assumption?

Last, is there any value in resubmitting the site? I cannot possibly think of a more suitable category, so it will be re-submitted again to the same place. Is that a worthwhile exercise?

Enjoy your day!

Your site is still there in the, now slightly larger, queue.

I have the system set to display all unreviewed queues in order, oldest submission first. If you were to re-submit your site, the new submision would overwrite the old one, moving your site to the bottom of the queue. Some editors sort in different ways.
 

Hello,

I am not very hopeful, but I thought I'll ask again, after a suitable interval from the last time (nearly a month). Any news, perhaps?

Thanks

MC
 

Just shows to go you!

I always maintain (in THEORY) that one should not ASSUME the worst, and I was proven right (wrong) again!

Many thanks for your help - and my sympathy to the Editor that had to go through all the backlog that I understand was accumulating in that category!

All's well when it ends well <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Have a great day
