I have seen numerous times this scenario?? So that is why I say this flaw must be fixed:
<br>A webmaster submits a site, filled with pop ups, spam and only affiliate links.. The site gets reviewed by an editor and deleted as per guidelines. The offending webmaster complains but before doing so CHANGES their SPAM site. They take away the pop ups, add content pages that were not there and so on.... There are many variations of this scenario but you should get the idea from it. I personally now believe that it is why there is such a backlog of sites. Granted there are valid complaints about subjective things.. but the truth is not somewhere in the middle. Sites that are deleted are 99.9% of the time sites that do not meet guidelines. I can elaborate on this for days... A fix = Make it possible for an editor to take snapshots of the offending site, prior to deletion. I know for a fact that there are 1000's of spam sites waiting to be reviewed. But I also know when they get deleted rightfully so, you get slack for it. So I really believe there needs to be a solution: Either the deleted sites dumped somewhere to be checked again in a timely fashion by another editor or snapshots allowed to be taken of deleted sites. Anyway. Sorry if anyone is offended by this...
