Don't know where else to post this...

I am having a problem with meta in site submission status... I believe my words and actions were COMPLETELY misinterpreted and am getting the shortend of the stick because of it... I don't think it would be considered abuse, just ridiculousness and not listening to what I'm saying ... Where can I go to try and get this remedied... anybody? thanks

Except possibly for the deleted post, everyone has been generally polite -- and you were very early with the bump.

arubin... that's what I'm trying to explain... I bumped it because I thought that the original response meant for me to ask again after it had been a month from submission not from the time the first editor replied...

Isn't that the rules? Ask for status after a month from submission...? I asked a week too early the first time because I wasn't sure when I submitted, so I waited 12 days and bumped it...

Anyway, now the meta is telling me I'm misbehaving (lol) because I tried to say exactly what I said here... now he's telling me to wait another month from now... what?!? I wasn't rude to anyone, I was just trying to explain my point...

Am I way off base here, seriously, because I thought I was doing what I was supposed to...

Because a lot of people don't care to read our guidelines or even worse they read them but don't care to follow them we might give them extra waiting time as has been done in your case. If an editor writes "Please return to this thread after a month" you must wait at least 1 month starting form that date.

People who follow our guidelines and instructions will be helped fast and polite. People who don't just have to wait a little longer. This is true for both R-Z and in some way also for ODP itself.

Ok...thanks... I was wrong, I talked to the original editor... It was a misunderstanding, and I truly felt I wasn't "misbehaving" and that's why I got a bit worked up over it... thanks anyway
