What it seems many are trying to say here is that you never receive any feedback, even that the submission was reviewed and then declined.
Absolutely. And they are saying that for the simple reason that it's just true.
>If, as the moderator has stated, that the submission was reviewed repeatedly and denied repeatedly, this is probably becasue the site was re-submitted.
Yes, almost certainly.
>If the website owner gets no notification that the site was denied, they are really left in the dark and are left with the only option avialable to them which is to re-submit the site, only further wasting the editor's time.
No, no, a thousand times no. There are two options. One is to follow the policies that are set up to protect editors, benefit users, and allow the most efficient review of large numbers of submitted sites (which incidentally benefits submitters.): submit once; wait; either submit once more or ask in the forums. That is the only option a polite person will even consider, and so it would be fair to say there's really only one option.
The other (reprehensible) option is to violate the submittal policies, assuming that rudeness will be rewarded by the victims. As one of the victims, I submit that's a very bad assumption. All you're doing is building a reputation for the site.
The editors aren't stupid. it won't take long before they rightly say, "this jerk has submitted this site x times, it was never worth warm spit before, and there's no reason for me to waste my time even looking at it again." Nuclear delete, and go on looking for sources that will help find useful sites.
To repeat: repeat submittals are not a good idea. They will not help you. They will not help your site. The only things they will raise are your gestank and the editors' hackles.
And it puzzles me why people can't see this obvious fact. Just assume editors are looking for good sites; assume the submittals are there to help them do that, and not for any other purpose at all; assume editors know that ... and all else follows. But none of those are secret.
