Guest dougb Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Hello, Just wanted to check the status on: www.pcs-direct.com i submitted a couple months ago in: http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/Communications/Wireless/Cellular_Phones/ Thanks for your help! dougb
Meta hutcheson Posted January 25, 2003 Meta Posted January 25, 2003 Re: Site Status Rejected: links broken and/or insufficient content. The links seem to be working now, but there still seems to be something wierd and perverse -- lame java cruft? -- going on. I'm not an expert on the affiliate programs in that market, so I can't speak to the content issue.
Guest dougb Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Re: Site Status What does lame java cruft mean? I'm no expert, by any means.. If the links are working now, do you think that should be enough to get me in? thanks dougb
Meta hutcheson Posted January 25, 2003 Meta Posted January 25, 2003 Re: Site Status Well, I don't see it now. It seemed, though, that something odd was happening the first time I clicked on a link, and there was a gray box in the middle of the screen with technical irrelevancies scrolling through it: the sort of thing I've seen before from broken Java applets. I haven't been able to tell whether the site is an affiliate doorway or an information page about a genuine business. In that sense, no, there's not enough information for _me_ to list (or reject) it. But we do have people that know the market and industry better than I do, and it may make more sense to them.
Guest dougb Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Re: Site Status Thanks for the input.. I just resubmitted. Do you know how long the backlog is for this category? Thanks in advance. dougb
Meta hutcheson Posted January 25, 2003 Meta Posted January 25, 2003 Re: Site Status Current queue is short. However, this is not a category that attracts dedicated amateur editors. It's one of many commercial categories that are visited at random intervals by otherwise-very-busy editors. Other nearby categories have long queues. So: no way to predict, but I'd expect a potentially long delay.
uzs980 Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 Re: Site Status Dougb, you've asked for a status update in a new thread. Please keep all questions regarding one site in one thread. I won't check the status of your site now. If we check each site every week we won't have time to actually review sites any more. Please leave at least one month between submitting and asking for a status.
Guest dougb Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Re: Site Status Its been a month, any status? Thanks Doug
Meta windharp Posted February 26, 2003 Meta Posted February 26, 2003 Re: Site Status Did you submit to the category in the first post? Your site is not waiting there, but is has not been deleted since you posted you resubmitted either. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
Guest dougb Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Re: Site Status i think: Top: Shopping: Consumer Electronics: Communications: Wireless: Cellular Phones I'm getting confused! Sorry
Meta kokopeli Posted February 26, 2003 Meta Posted February 26, 2003 Re: Site Status Your site is not waiting in the queue at http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/Communications/Wireless/Cellular_Phones/, nor has it been recently deleted. There are just too many sites in related categories for me spend the time to try to find out where you actually submitted to. Which one category best fits your site?
Guest dougb Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Re: Site Status i dont know what category, i messed up.. can you just let me know if it was deleted. that way you dont need to go through every category... thanks dougb
uzs980 Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Re: Site Status As kokopeli wrote: "nor has it been recently deleted".
Guest dougb Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Re: Site Status "nor has it been deleted" as of 2/26. Is that still the same status, here on 3/11? thanks
uzs980 Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Re: Site Status Please leave at least one month between enquiries.
Guest dougb Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Re: Site Status Could you please let me know if its still in the queque? I submitted jan 25. Thanks
dfy Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Re: Site Status None of your previous posts have told us where you submitted. We need that information to be able to check the queue.
Guest dougb Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Re: Site Status unfortunately, i am new to this,, so i didnt keep it.. can you tell if its been deleted without knowing the category? ie:if its been deleted, then i know its been rejected. otherwise, it would be in a queque still, correct? thanks
lachenm Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Re: Site Status Hmmm, you're still one day shy of a (very short) month, you know... Your site has not been recently deleted. >>otherwise, it would be in a queque still, correct?<< Assuming the submission made it through, and assuming that there were no bugs in the system, yes. You can't always assume both of those things, though. Please wait at least a month before checking again.
Guest dougb Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Re: Site Status it was 1 day short of TWO months since I submitted, not 1.
lachenm Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Re: Site Status I believe we have a misunderstanding. It was a day short of a month from your last status update (Feb 26, 2003), not from your date of submission. Please wait at least a month between update requests. Thanks!
Guest dougb Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Re: Site Status has my site been deleted? or still waiting. www.pcs-direct.com thanks doug
lachenm Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Re: Site Status Like I asked last time, please wait at least a month between status update requests. Yes, I know you are just one day away (from another update that was answered one day early because I was trying to be nice), but the forum guidelines have to draw a line somewhere (if we allow one day early, next it will be two, then three...). If you come back after at least two days, you'll be back on schedule from your original request.
Alucard Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Re: Site Status The URL that you asked about is not in the review queue that you mentioned in Item0. I also see no record that it has been deleted from that or any other queue. If you submitted to a different category, please let us know which one, so that we can check. If the category above is correct, then I would suggest you resubmit to that category. Assuming that the system is working correctly, any delete would be recorded. I see no recent deletions.
