Re: Status of sub for http://www.bdsmmoviepost.com
30 non-affiliated links is the minimum criteria set out by our guidelines for listable sites in that area. (That's not to say it's a hard and fast rule - just a guideline as to what we're looking for).
We want to see that a bit of work has been put into any site submitted to the ODP - this goes for the Adult section too.
Assuming that the editor reviewing the site has a good working knowledge of the category, or the industry, the reviewing editor should be able to tell whether the site is being given TLC and is an ongoing project or whether it's been thrown up as a hub and submitted in the hope that it will be listed as fitting minimum standards.
This is not to say that I believe that you do not put much effort into your site! As you know, sponsor hosted galleries are available to anyone who cares to sign up for them. This means they are not unique therefore next to useless to our (ODP) visitors. Combine the fact that over three-quarters of the site's content is not unique to your site and can be found in varying combinations across all manner of other sites AND you have only 44 links which may or may not be affiliated .. it, unfortunately, looks like a 'build and forget' hub which will eventually be neglected, leaving us with a poor listing for our surfers.
I hope that clarifies. You've got a long answer because you were so gracious accepting a reject.
Sure - resubmit the site if you do change it.
