The relevant date is that of the last submission, since later submissions usually overwrite older ones.

Without a category, the chance of getting an answer is very small.

Your submission has been reviewed in both locations and declined. It will not be listed in any category.

You may want to submit to directories which do not use our criteria for listing.

We will try to find where the problem is

We will try to find where the problem is, and will ensure that our site match your listing politics. Similar sites are listed on the same category, so there has to be a solution; we are going to analyze your policies for listing and the right categories before trying again.

Thanks for your answer, but we don’t agree with your suggestion we want to be included on the Open Directory Project, as we are part of the Internet community as many other sites.

Without looking at the site to determine the exact parts of our guidelines it fails to meet --

We encourage any and all to use Report Hijacks, Dead Links & Inappropriate ODP Content Here ONLY to report listed sites which do not meet our guidelines, or have been hijacked, or are inoperative.

Specifically of interest to submitters of travel related sites:

We have so much trouble, and waste so much time, with affiliate hotel-reservation scams that we have an additional guideline for such sites: look around it for 60 seconds, for demonstrably unique content. If you don't find it, reject.

Assuming your site has any unique content (which I wouldn't), the only approach would be to make sure that unique content was prominently featured in the site navigation, and that NON-unique content was labelled as such. If you label the non-unique content, we can ignore it and just review the unique content. If you don't, we're likely to look at the non-unique content, see that it is non-unique, and assume the rest of the site is that way.

60 seconds. And that may be on a slow line. Your navigation must be good, and your unique content must be obviously so. After all, how long are real users going to waste on a site if they've already looked at "other similar listed sites"?

There are no political criteria. These are information-theoretic criteria. Information is the key. Submitting a site where there are "several similar sites already listed" is the wrong approach--wasting your time and ours. Submitting a site for which there are NO similar sites is helpful for all of us.
