richalp Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 http://resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6435 Request Status for http://www.resumes2work.com on DMOZ, specifically to Huchenson, the Meta Administrator. Leaving me open ended with a statement like: "It is not even eligible for listing." and then closing the thread doesn't help either of us. I have read and re-read the guidelines and those criteria specifically declared as making a site ineligible for listing do not apply to our site. Or maybe I am missing something. Do you have any specific complaints about our site? We would love to be directed to those criteria you think we violate. Thank you
spectregunner Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 While your frustration is understandable (sort of), what we do understand is that the forum rules have been changed to prohibit exactly the kind of discussion you want to have. The priomary purpose of this forum is to provide a status of submission, not to analyze websites or get into complex discussions as you exactly why a site does not meet our submission guidelines. I call your attention to the last four items in the forum guidelines (particular the third point I've quoted), that you presumably read. To wit: Keep in mind that editors cannot reveal certain information due to confidentiality issues mentioned in the ODP Editor Guidelines. # If your site has been rejected, please keep in mind that arguing about the editorial decision will not be tolerated. Please note that at the bottom of the "add URL" screen it says "Netscape and the ODP have unfettered editorial discretion to determine the structure and content of the directory" and "a site's placement in the directory is subject to change or deletion at any time" This forum is not intended for site analysis or spam accusations. Please avoid discussing any aspect of the site except its submission status. "Rejected and not likely to be accepted anywhere" is a reasonable status. We understand that editors and other members are often trying to be helpful, but in our experience discussions about site design or spam detection often take a hostile turn. So, please, send constructive criticism about site design and contents directly to the submitter via e-mail or private messages; please send information on suspected spammish or abusive listings to the meta-editors.
richalp Posted April 28, 2004 Author Posted April 28, 2004 Request Status for www.resumes2work.com Could I please know the status for http://www.resumes2work.com Thank you
spectregunner Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 What makes you believe that your status could have changed? Have you made wholesale changes to the site in order to become guidelines compliant? Have you resubmitted? If so, where?
thehelper Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Unfortunately I hate to disagree with my esteemed colleagues about the status of the site but it has not been rejected. The submission is currently awaiting review in http://dmoz.org/Business/Arts_and_Entertainment/Media_Production/Resumes_and_Portfolios/ Now, whether or not the site is eligible for a listing, I don't know. I trust hutcheson if he said it is not listable. However, currently the site is still awaiting review in the category I mentioned. Whether or not it ever gets listed is a different story.
Alucard Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 There is a submission dated 14/Aug/2003 awaiting review in category http://dmoz.org/Business/Employment/Job_Search A submission dated 21/Jan/2004 to category Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/Tools was moved by an editor to category http://dmoz.org/Business/Arts_and_Entertainment/Media_Production/Resumes_and_Portfolios where it also awaits review. The reason your last thread was closed was because of the nature and tone of your enquiries. The purpose of this forum is not to debate anything, but to enquire the status of submissions. I suggest that we all confine ourselves to that scope in this new thread. Thanks.
richalp Posted April 28, 2004 Author Posted April 28, 2004 Request Status for www.resumes2work.com Thank you for letting me know it is still waiting in category http://dmoz.org/Business/Employment/Job_Search.

djdeeds Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Multiple suggestions for this url have been received. Duplicates have been removed (causing delays in which editors could be listing sites), leaving at least one for review, including one dated Aug 2004 in the category you cite. No need to submit further. Thanks.
