old_crone Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Is there a way to find out where I posted the submission so that I can have someone check the status? No, sorry there isn't a way. You can suggest your site for inclusion one more time, copy the category path, and return here (to this thread) and ask again in a month.

princeton Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Can you direct me to the guidelines that could give me a reason why I am rejected?
bobrat Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Sure - these are the ones you agreed to follow when you suggested your sites http://www.dmoz.org/add.html under Step One
oneeye Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 http://dmoz.org/add.html Step 1 - indicates sites not to submit.
princeton Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Sure - these are the ones you agreed to follow when you suggested your sites http://www.dmoz.org/add.html under Step One Ok, I read the guidelines again ... and I have not yet found anything on there that would result in a rejection. FYI: Is this in regards to resubmitting this url? If it is I was told to do it (second post).
Meta hutcheson Posted January 21, 2005 Meta Posted January 21, 2005 Hey, turn the brick over: you're looking at the situation down its long axis. The problem is not (as it hardly ever is) that the editor read the guidelines more stringently than you did. The editor read the SITE...and did not yet find anything on there that would result in a listing. Now, what's the problem? How would we know? Is there something hidden away in a dark corner of the site, that you couldn't find without a Guidebook to Zork, that really is valuable and unique, that WOULD make the site worth mentioning? Is it that you have that something valuable and unique stashed away on your server, waiting a word of encouragement to publish it? Is it that you so thoroughly mixed original and plagiarized content that the editor thought it was all plariarized? We don't know that. We can't know that. Only you know that. Only you can decide whether you need to find unique content, simply publish unique content, prominentize your existing unique content with better navigation, or go peddle the site somewhere that unique content isn't a virtue. Sorry, but with the most determined intentions in the world, we still would simply be unable to answer that question for you. We do not have, and never could have, the information needed -- but that is information which you as the site developer must have. So, why ask us?
princeton Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Would I be able to resubmit the site at a later date? -- after a design overhaul that is. thanks
oneeye Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 If, after reading the explanation of "related" in your other thread, and being willing to take the risk of the sanctions contained in the Guidelines, Step 1, Bullet Point 2... should you get it wrong, then the decision is yours, we cannot physically stop you making a suggestion. We would advise extreme caution however.
