Hi all. I've been visiting these forums occasionally for the past few weeks and have noticed a few posts on multiple listings. All of them end with the infamous quote "It's the exception, not the rule". Well, is it really? I'll explain why I don't think so below.
I've been trying to get a site listed...going on six months now. I've followed the rules as stated in the faq section, and I've actually managed to get in touch with the main category editor. He's been very polite, however it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
At this point, it doesn't really make sense for me to submit a post and question the status, just to hear the generic answer of "Your site is waiting in the queue with XX other number of sites". I realize all the editors are volunteers, and don't expect an answer from any of them, so I was pleased to see one of them respond. I am still awaiting a response.
Anyway, on to my reason for posting. Since I have not heard back from the editor, I've decided to take a different approach and come here. After doing some research (about 15 minutes worth) I've noticed a few sites with a number of listings, 5 or more. Some of them may be justified, but one is obviously questionable, which makes me wonder if that person is perhaps in charge of some of these categories. I would prefer not to post any of the sites here, instead if one of the editors would be interested in looking into this further, I would be happy to mail you my research, along with the conversation I've had with the editor. I would prefer that the editor have the ability/access to look into the problem, rather than handing it over to someone else.
I realize there is no guarantee for a listing, and that's not what I'm complaining about. Actually, I'm fairly confident the site should be listed (either that or several of the sites currently listed should be removed). The purpose of this post is not to get listed immediately or have listings removed....all I'm really looking for is a fair shake here. Sorry if I've rambled on a bit, but I'm just frustrated with this whole issue. If anyone is interested, or has any comments on this matter, please post away. If you need to delete this post for not being appropriate, that's fine too. Thanks.
