I sent a link to my photography website for Toronto area about a year ago,using my c-panel software.

Since then I am still waiting,afraid to resubmit.
Many of the suggestions waiting for review were lost in the server crash in October 06 - if you have not suggested it again since the system came back online (ie this year) please do so once more. A second suggestion is OK, as it catches the small percentage of sites that don't make it for technical reasons, it's multiple resuggestions we want to stop. You aren't close to spamming with 2.
I just noticed that the listing got an extra 2 websites,which were created a few months ago.
Just means someone took an interest in reviewing sites in a particular category. Site
creation date is irrelevant.
It seems like there are no set rules on who to approve
Well there are no set timeframes, that's true. There are no guidelines on
who but rather on
content. There's a lot of reading but it's all public if you start at
http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/
the directory is controlled by
one of my competitors,who doesn't want me in there.
Yes, conspiracy theory #619887687 - in reality it's rubbish, as no one editor has sole control or access to a category.
And please don't tell me that my site does not have a relevant content.
OK, I won't tell you. Just a generality since while I can guess at where you suggested the site I didn't look. In the Regional branch of the directory, one of the prime requirements is that the site itself states where the site/company/service is
located - surprisingly many sites don't (personally I won't deal with a nebulous entity - if there is no place I can physically pin them down to, I just ain't buying it). This is not true so much in the Topical categories where the
type of content/service is the important thing.
