While this thread might get deleted, it is not my intent to be disruptive, just informed. Many months ago, I asked you about two sites that are ticket / concert related, as to when they were going to get reviewed. (note, I didn't even list them in this email to check on them) My answer from you folks was wait until after May to ask. It had been 3 months as of that point, but no problem for my waiting until May. Then today, I check to see if you had listed those two sites and they were still not there, almost 5 months later and was going to ask you about it.
Now I see that you can no longer ask that 'when' question. While I understand policies change and I also understand that 99% of the questions on that forum were about when was site being listed and that was taking all the time, etc. But what I don't understand is your policy of making no exceptions to the rule. It was YOU that told me to wait until May and without pressure, waited until July, so I am patient. But now, I cannot even find out why you cannot make any exceptions? It was important to me that I get those sites listed as I had told a customer of mine that I had sumitted them and even showed them the response you gave as to wait until May to ask. It just makes me look like crap as a business owner to my customer that you tell me one thing, then change your policies without exception. Integraty is all we have in our personal and business life and your telling me one thing, than changing the rules makes us both look bad.
Frankly that stinks and while it is not my intention to upset anyone there at DMOZ, or make my site permentaly unavailable because of my inquiry, it seems to me that there are exceptions to every rule, especially when it was YOU that told me to wait until May to ask. I have copies of what you said, if you want.
Bottom line, I have 2 sites that I submitted over 5 months ago and now you cannot tell me the status after telling me I need to wait to ask the question of status... and you make no exceptions. I'm just upset that there is no resolve for this.
