Guest nomore_1961 Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Could you please give me the status of this site http://www.nationalsecuritysystems.net/ I submitted it to http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Security/Alarm_Systems/ thanks in advance for your help.
dfy Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 It shows as having been submitted on 26th February. Please leave at least month before asking about submissions.
Guest nomore_1961 Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Yes, that was the last time I submitted. The first time I submitted was six months ago <img src="/images/icons/mad.gif" alt="" />. I emailed the editor but never heard back, and now there is no editor for that category. <img src="/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />
dfy Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Ah! I see. Your new submission has just over-written the old one, so it looks as though you only submitted recently. As I said, the site *is* in the queue, waiting for someone to get to it.
Guest nomore_1961 Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 OK I see, well just a few more questions and then I will not bug you any more, do you have any idea how many submissions are in front of mine, how will not having an editor for this category affect the amount of time it will take to be accepted or denied, and lastly each time that it get resubmitted dose it move it to the back of the line? <img src="/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />
Meta enarra Posted March 1, 2003 Meta Posted March 1, 2003 Sites are sorted in the unreviewed queue in many different manners: by URL, by title, by date, etc. So even if you're the latest person to submit that doesn't always mean you have to wait until the others are done before yours is seen.
Guest nomore_1961 Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 OK I see, I see there is not way of knowing how many submissions are in front of mine, but I never got an answer to the other questions; <img src="/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" /> how will not having an editor for this category affect the amount of time it will take to be accepted or denied, do you know if the is going to be an editor for this category soon and lastly each time that it get resubmitted dose it move it to the back of the line?
Guest Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 >> how will not having an editor for this category affect the amount of time it will take to be accepted or denied It doesn't affect. Editors with higher privs (editall+ and editors with privs in upper categories) can edit there. There is no category "without an editor" in ODP. there are only categories with a listed editor and categories without a listed editor >> do you know if the is going to be an editor for this category soon We don't know if there will be a listed editor in this category, and we don't know when any other editor having privs to edit this cat will decide to go through the backlog there. >> each time that it get resubmitted dose it move it to the back of the line each time a site is resubmitted it rewrites the previous submission, and puts it at the bottom of the queue (if the queue is sorted by date of submission). Just notice that editors can choose to sort the unrevieweds queue by title, URL, etc.. The date of submission isn't therefore a parameter that can be used for forecasts.
Guest nomore_1961 Posted March 7, 2003 Posted March 7, 2003 Ok I got it, last question; how many submission are there waiting in this category?
uzs980 Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 More than two hundred, so it might take a while. Did you know you may also submit to the Regional category of your locality? That would be Regional: North America: United States: California: Localites: T: Tustin: Business and Economy. We can't promise anything, but there is only one submission waiting for review in that category now, so your site might be reviewed much faster there. And you don't lose your chance for Business listing, as these two listings are independent.
Guest nomore_1961 Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Thank you I'll do just that <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Guest nomore_1961 Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Well.....Am I getting any closer? <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Guest nomore_1961 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 30 more days have pasted.....well.....Am I getting any closer? <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />
uzs980 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Your site is still waiting for review in both Business: Business Services: Security: Alarm Systems and Regional: North America: United States: California: Localities: T: Tustin: Business and Economy. I'm sorry not to have better news at this point. You may come back after another month and ask again. Robert
