The http://www.freebiesfreestuff.com/ link has been received and is awaiting review in that category.

The submission to http://www.besplatnestvari.net/ has been received as well. It has been temporarily been moved to [cat]World/Srpski[/cat] for recategorisation.

If you don't see both sites listed sometime in the next six months, please feel free to return for a status update on or after 25 February.

No change of status of either site. (We don't have many Srpski speaking editors.) You may ask again in 6 months.

Another 6 months!?!? :eek: :(

http://www.freebiesfreestuff.com is in english.

Yes, I know. That's just a very spam-ridden category. I'm not saying that your site is spam, but editors don't have much interest in removing thousands of sets of the same links.

Regarding http://www.besplatnestvari.net : Do you have some Hrvatski or Bosanski speaking editors? Those languages are the same as Srpski.

We've had some discussion of that in the internal forum. The languages are approximately the same, but each has its own word selection differences.

This is so disappointing. I have waited for 6 months just to be told to wait another 6... that equals one year! Do you have someone who is learning Srpski so you need that much time? It seems to me that your previous job was at my county's administration... you use the same language.


"spam-ridden category" - meaning what? Some people are submitting same links more than once? So my website is not going to be reviewed?

By "spam-ridden", I mean that some people submit multiple mirrors of the same site. Sorry not to have better news, but it's often a lot of work to check for mirrors, if only the name of the site is changed.

"Spam-ridden" means that many people are submitting sites that shouldn't have been submitted at all -- and yes, spam hurts everyone on the net. The way it is hurting you right now, is that editors don't know ahead of time which sites are spam -- we have to look at them all. That delays site reviews. It also demotivates editors, who like to work where their work matters, which means somewhere you can easily find sites worth listing.

"Not going to be reviewed"? no. "Going to be reviewed quickly?" Probably not.

If you think of editors as bureaucrats in the auto license office (yes, we have them here in the U.S. also, bureaucratese is the same in every language) whom you are trying to talk into giving your pet a free flea inspection, then you'll probably have a better idea of the situation.
