Status of http://www.amray.com

We requested Title correction for www.amray.com listed in http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Web_Portals/ long time ago.
Link Title says Amray even though initially we submitted AMRAY and in our request, we explained why it should be in all caps (the same reason as ODP, AOL etc.)

Can you check the status of our request? Please.

Your request is waiting to be processed by the appropriate editors.

To be honest I don't quite get what you mean. ODP and AOL are acronyms. Is Amray an acronym for something?

Yes, it compounded from five company founders’ initials.

http://www.amray.com/ listed in
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/...eb/Web_Portals/

It is now almost one year since we initially requested to change
site name from Amray to AMRAY. I explained that AMRAY is not a word but
acronym and that all caps represent names of 5 company founders.

We wouldn't ask for a change if editor left the name as we
originally posted thus save us all time now.

How longer it will take for us to wait before some of you guts spend
10 seconds of your time to change 4 letters and click save?

Change requests are processed in the same manner as new submissions (although some editors do give them a priority).

Thus, a change request, if granted, could take from a few hours to more than two years.

I can also tell you that no editor, to date, has considered your change request, but they have spent considerable time ferreting out what we believe are all of your mirrors.

I also do not believe that your request, when reviewed by an editor qualified to edit in that part of the directory, will be granted. Our style for titles specifices initial capitalization only. See our editing guidelines . Specifically:

Do have the first letter of each word in the title capitalized, except for articles, prepositions or conjunctions unless they begin the site title or a new part of a compound title.

and

Do not capitalize titles in their entirety.

And before you get started again (given the tone of your last posting), let me remind you that the purpose of this forum is to request and receive status requests, not to debate/discuss or argue over ODP's editorial policies.

Guideline...

Do not capitalize titles in their entirety.

Click to expand...

Guideline doesn't says or ment to be used in acronyms such as ABC, MSN, AOL, ODP, AMRAY etc.
but rather in "DO NOT CAPITALIZE TITLES IN THEIR ENTIRETY" titles

Thank you for your interpretation of our editing guidelines.

I'm certain that the reviewing editor will consider your position when they eventually get to your update request.

You may come back again in 90 days, using this thread and this thread only, for a follow-up status check.

Excuse me Sir, but what do you mean by "interpretation"?
I took my time to read guideline and at least I am missing
something, you are more than welcome to point me to the
specific place where it says: no caps in acronyms.

And Sir, can I ask you something? In your post you said: -
"ODP's editorial policies". Is there are some special reasons
you put ODP in all caps?

Because he's not talking about a site title

When ODP is listed in ODP you will find the title in category http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/Open_Directory_Project/

is Open Directory Project [not ODP]

With all do respect, you are not spectregunner and my question was directed
to him not to you. But as long you took time to reply, I think it would be only
fare for me to point to you that spectregunner
very specifically point me to guide section that talk about site title and not
about Category http://dmoz.org/guidelines/describing.html#titles
and whereas I nearly point to him that guideline for titles says:
Do contain the full form and acronym... and asked him to show me
where I'm wrong.

To answer your post, I would suggest you go to category where AMRAY is posted
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Web_Portals/ and take a look
how is ABC, just above and AOL just 2 posts below, are listed.

You have made your point very clear, including your interpretation of our guidelines. As spectregunner pointed out, the Forum Guidelines for Resource-Zone forbid any debating of editorial decisions here, and we would like to ask you to please respect these guidelines.

It is worth pointing out that the editor who reviews your update request will almost certainly not read this discussion.

Thank you,

As I said, if original editor follow guidelines in the first place, we wouldn't
now seek resolution and take any of your time. I agree with you this is not
the place to talk about mistake made by editor, after all people who come
here are looking for info about their sites status but I can't find place where
I can post my concerns and will appreciate if any of you can point me to some
part of ODP guidelines enforcers where I can appeal editor guideline violation
and/or who can arbitrate and correct mistake without delay.

Stop arguing.

There is nothing to appeal because your request is still in the pool of submission awaiting actions by an editor.

No immediate action is going to take place. Your request will be considered in due course and no one can predict when that will happen.

This is the only place to discuss your concerns. You have expressed your opinion. Several very experienced editors have tried to tell you that your request is probably not going to be approved, because our interpretation of the editing guidelines greatly varies from your interpretation.

We are not going to discuss this further. We are not going to debate the editorial guidelines with you. Your request is pending, and you are probably quite fortunate that none of the editors here will be the ones who will deal with your request, as you have very nearly worn out your welcome with your argumentative nature.

Now some free advice: Do not post a reply to this message. Come back in 90 days and post a straighforward status request -- with no attitude, no accusations, no arguments and no snide remarks about it only taking 10 seconds. Then you can come back every 90 days, using the same thread, until such time as your request is either accepted or denied.

Your site has been reviewed, and has been found to violate the licensing agreements of ODP in http://dmoz.org/license.html with more information to be found in http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Inter...en_Directory_Project/Policies_and_Procedures/

In simple terms, it means you are using ODP data in an inappropriate and unacceptable manner.

As a result it will probably be removed from the ODP directory until such time as it has been changed to meet those agreements.

I will inform management of AMRAY Network about ODP decision to remove our listing and
most definitely 5% of ODP data we posted in our Directory will be removed to comply with ODP Licensing Provision.

My question is:
do we have to reapply for listing again or
ODP will reinstate our previous listing?

Post again when you have made the changes and we will make our decision at that time.

Please keep all questions about your site in the thread http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9668

amrayhosting.com and amray.com 2 deferent sites submitted to 2 deferent
Categories. I am not asking about status of amray.com and I don't see how
they (sites) related and why they should be placed in the same thread.

Just look on submission titles and you'll see they say:
Status of www.amray.com
and Status of www.amrayhosting.com

Besides, you removed amray.com from your index all-together.
