It does seem that you submitted to one or more categories besides the one you mentioned. That means the editors are going to stop and spend a little extra time and wonder why that was done, and which one it really should be in.

Because of the way the system works, it's not possible to know where a site has been submitted until an editor finds it in the category. So in September, no one had encountered your site. So for all I know your site may be sitting in hundreds of other categories, but until someone specifically looks in the category or makes a note about the site, it's hidden from view.

That's why we keep having to ask users what cat they submitted to, and if they only tell us about one of those categories, that's all they can get an answer for.

You can wait. Please do not resubmit. You chose to create a site in a really spam-ridden area; as a result, fewer editors are trusted to clean up the mess, many that are trusted find more important categories to work on (more important in their own view, which is the only thing that counts.) So the spammy categories are neglected. This is only one of numerous ways in which spam hurts legitimate businesses. (And your repeated submittals in violation of the submittal policies can only be counted as spam, regardless of the merits of the site itself. So, I repeat, the most important thing you can do is stop making the problem worse by these unnecessary and counterproductive repeat submittals.)

It can and does need help, but it is likely too much for a new editor (we want new editors to be successful, do we don't give them categories where failure is a likely outcome). If you are sincere in wanting to help out and apply to become an editor, find a very small category near the bottom of the tree (perhaps a subcategory of your hometown within Regional) and apply there.

Once you have gained experience, and demonstrated your ability to edit well in a trustworthy manner, you will be given plenty of a opportunities to take on more challenging categories.

Sometimes it gets real busy here. Sometimes posts slip off the first page. All the editors that answer here are volunteers, nobody forces them to answer. If you find that your post has slipped off the front page and nobody has answered simply bump it back up to the beginning by posting "bumping thread" or something to that effect. Please understand that your post was not intentionally skipped. We try our best to answer every status request but sometimes things happen.

With that said, the submission is still awaiting editorial review.
