site submission.

Hi,

I submitted a site more than 10 months before but still waiting for addition. What could be the problem?

Thanks.

All will be revealed if you read this forum's FAQ.

I read the FAQs but would you tell me if I need to resubmit or doing that would make any difference?

Resubmitting is covered in the FAQs that jimnoble noted above.

one last question about the submissions, will I be informed if the submission is rejected?

Thanks.

No, what would be the point in doing that? How would that help our users or our volunteer editors?

That would help site owners follow the dmoz requirements for a better fit for the next submission. I understand there is a long queue, but informing members after 6 months or even a year wouldn't hurt. This way members won't end up waiting for a very long time.

There should be no next submission.

The dmoz requirements for which SITES are rejected have nothing at all to do with the submission, they are about the SITE.

There is no queue, long or short. There are only priorities, set by each volunteer for himself.

There are no "members." There are only volunteer surfers, and surfers who use the result. (You're coming across like someone who thinks site owners are in some special club with special privileges like telling other people what they have to do and when they have to do it. That doesn't go over well with other people!)

There are no "deadlines" -- even months or years.

Deadlines imposed by outsiders would hurt, if some of them were spammers inclined to DDOS attacks. (And the fact is, some of them are!)

Giving information can hurt and has hurt (it may not have hurt YOU yet, that's merely because you haven't actually given any!) But it can't HELP. (And that's the important thing, the point of the ODP is not to waste the maximum amount of time not hurting. The point is to help!)

Site owners have no special privileges: the ODP is by and for surfers.

Site owners are not submitters: anyone can submit a site.

Nobody ever has to wait any time to do anything that they have a right to do with their own website.

I'm sure you have made a correct assumption somewhere, but I sure didn't notice it, and I read the post pretty carefully.

I didn't mean 'hurt' like that, it was a part of a phrase. Anyway, thanks for the post it cleared a lot of things.

Cheers.
