While we appreciate the fact that you are thinking of ways we can improve, there is actually very little chance that we will put in a response system such as the one you envisioned.
We've had a lot of threads in the past that discuss this, but to save you a search, the highlights are:
1. Such a system gives too much information to the spammers, and thus would dramatically increase our workload because the spammers would know that attept 14 failed, and they would immediately submit attempts 42 thorugh 57.
2. Such a system also send the wrong message to people making the suggestion. It conveys the idea that we place a high degree of importance on how quickly we review the submissions. We really view these as suggestions, we basically say "thank you" when they are suggested, and that is the end of the communication. Since suggestions are but one way we identify possible sites for inclusion in the directory, and since anyone can suggest a site, we have simply determined that having such a system add nothing to our primary mission of building a dirctory.
3. Editors sometimes do contact webmasters. If, in reviewing a site, we identify a minor easily fixed issue that we believe the webmaster would want to resolve, then we oftne (as a matter of courtesy, not a requirement) send off an e-mail. On saturday, for example, I was working on some real estate sites in Utah, I came across one where the agent appeared to be rezl, the site had good content, and was listable except for the fact that it did not contain an office address. I fired off an e-mail to the agent, she corrected the site and 24 hours later I listed it. while this is a nice thing to do, I'm not certain any of the editors would want it to be a requirement.
I hope this helps. Obviously, we cannot discuss your specific situation, and I would encourage you to search the historical threads if you want more information on this topic.
and I am really sorry that DMOZ doesn't provides any feedback about the submit process.
