ODP Resubmitting Question

[background=rgb(252, 252, 255)]Hello, I often read here you only need to add your website once for inclusion and no more as it will not help you.[/background]

[background=rgb(252, 252, 255)]The thing is just say you did submit once but your listing was not successful because you did not submit correctly to the guidelines ? how would you know ? as editors never get in touch with you ? There must be so many [/background][background=rgb(252, 252, 255)]quality[/background][background=rgb(252, 252, 255)] sites that do not get listed because of their listing guild-lines and not that they are suitable / relevant etc ? I have submitted my site and never got listed, I cannot see any reason why it would not and can only think it maybe because I made some kind of mistake? does this mean I should never apply again ?[/background]
[background=rgb(252, 252, 255)]When a DMOZ editor check`s your listing request could it not be possible they could send out a email to explain why the listing was not successful, just some form of template to save on time etc.[/background]
[background=rgb(252, 252, 255)]Getting in the DMOZ can be very important for some people especially if you are a business like mine, my site is very relevant to my category and fairly unique also so I can only establish I made a possible mistake when listing? how would I ever know?[/background]
[background=rgb(252, 252, 255)]Thanks all[/background]

There are a lot of things that can be againts the guidelines when a website is suggested. But almost none will result in a rejection.

* worng title - we will write a correct title
* wrong description - we wil write a good description
* suggested to the wrong category - we will send it to the right category
there is only 1 thing that will get the website rejected
* the website is of a type we do not want to list , and that is something you could have known before you suggested the webiste http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/guidelines/include.html

So if a website is suggested and not listed yet, and it also is not a type of website we won't list than it must be waiting review.
Time bewteen suggetion and review can vary between a few days and several years.
Suggesting a website more than once could result in a longer time between first suggestion and review.
Suggesting a website many times (and I mean realy many) may result in a ban of the person and all of his websites.

Hello and a huge thanks for that very clear and informative response, I had it in my head you would get rejected if you had titled wrong, or the description was not quite up to scratch etc.
Thanks for the reply, that`s all I really wanted to know.
Very Best regards
