Reporting out of date links

Hi there,
Apologies if I make too many points in one thread (mods by all means edit the post). I work for printing company that has two novelty ID card businesses. We have previously been in the ODP for one of these sites (www.id-shop.co.uk in Computers/Hacking/Fake_Identification/) but were removed for an unknown reason quite a while ago. At the time we were overly busy so it wasn't our most important priority, recently however I looked into getting back into the directory (and with the previously unlisted www.fibid.com which I believe from an editors/users point of view is sufficiently unique to warrant its own listing, though I may be wrong on this).

It was whilst re/submitting that I saw many links were out of date in the said category. With my public spirited hat on I decided to apply to be an editor especially as there was none specific to the category. I was unfortunately unsuccessful (no qualms with that as the reasons given by the reviewer "Category unsuitable for a trainee." and "Category has a daunting backlog." seemed fair enough) I was just wondering if I could be of any help by reporting the bad links? I am aware of the Abuse system, it just seemed a tad heavy handed.

Many Thanks,
Kate Hayter

P.S. I noticed while searching here that there has recently been a post by another business in the same category, just to note that I have no links with any other party (thought I should make that clear as 2 posts from such a small category in the same week seemed a little odd).

Please do let us know of any dead links in the category, there's a sticky thread in here .

Public spirited editors are just the sort we need - always provided they can read and write, of course That particular category might not be suitable for a beginner, but there's another 54,000 odd to choose from. Your home town, a hobbie, favourite band.. need I go on?

Oh, I almost forgot, http://www.id-shop.co.uk is currently awaiting review in that category.

Hi,
Further to the very quick and helpful reply by paulknight I have been waiting for the past few months for the re-listing of www.id-shop.co.uk and the possible new listing of www.fibid.co.uk . As it has been quite a few months now is there any chance of an update on their status?

Many Thanks
Kate Hayter

P.S. As mentioned previously I did apply to become an editor of this category but was informed that there was a daunting backlog. Obviously that’s quite understandable but how in that case can there ever be a new specific category editor appointed as opposed to a relying on a general one higher up the chain?

If it has been more than a month since you last submitted it, you can go to the Site Submission Status Area, read the Posting Guidelines and properly format your request there. Someone will be able to take a look for you.

Thanks.
