stender Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Hi, I replied to the email which I had to confirm my email address (the one with the key in the subject line) But got a failure back saying:- Final-Recipient: rfc822;<apply@dmoz.org> Action: failed Status: 5.5.2 Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 552 4.4.5 Insufficient disk space; try again later (from dmoz.org:207.200.81.140) Has your mail server run out of space? Is it ok to re-reply or does the key expire? Thanks in advance
jimnoble Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I've not heard of any problems recently. Please try again. The key is valid for several weeks. After that, the system automatically eats the application.
jimnoble Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 There is a problem. We'll let you know when it's all working again.
stender Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks Jim. Is that you'll let me know to my email address or I should keep checking this post?
motsa Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 We won't email you. Keep checking this thread or, better yet, check the "The current problem with applications" thread that is currently stickied at the top of the forum. We'll update that thread as soon as the problem has been verifiably fixed.
stender Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 I have just checked my emails, and my application must have gone through.
stender Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 Hi, I was turned down as I chose a category which was deemed to be too big for a trainee which was in travel. I was advised to apply for one with around 50 or less in it. I've looked through categories which I feel I am qualified for but the one I feel most suitable for has 62 and is in music. Would this be ok to apply for?
jimnoble Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Probably . I can't be more specific without knowing the category.
stender Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Jim, The category I would like to apply for is:- Shopping: Entertainment: Recordings: Audio: Music: Specialty: Urban, Dance, and Electronica: Vinyl (62)
jimnoble Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 That category has quite a big pool of URLs awaiting review. It's on the large side for a beginner but attainable with an excellent application. The advice given in the sticky threads at the top of this forum should help you to achieve that .
stender Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks Jim. Unfortunately I submitted it before your reply. I think my application was ok though. I read the guidelines and have strong qualifications for the catagory. I don't suppose we can tell how large the pool is of awaiting review for a section???
motsa Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I don't suppose we can tell how large the pool is of awaiting review for a section???Even if we would share that information, it wouldn't be of any use. Any meta editor can review an application in any section and, like site suggestions, can review them in any order.
Meta nea Posted January 5, 2006 Meta Posted January 5, 2006 I think he's asking about the number of unreviewed sites waiting review in the category he applies for - and no, there is no way to find that out. In those cases where that is the decisive factor, I think most of us let the applicant know as a matter of course. It's a drag, being rejected for that reason, but it's worse to be accepted to a category with an overwhelming amount of unreviewed sites, both from the perspective of the directory and for the new editor. Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
stender Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks nea, that is what I meant. It's just a bit of a guess really as to which to apply for then.
stender Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 Hi All, Could somebody please check on my application. Submitted - 1st of Jan 2006 Category - http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Entertainment/Recordings/Audio/Music/Specialty/Urban,_Dance,_and_Electronica/Vinyl/ Editor Name- Stender Thanks. Stender
motsa Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 If you applied back when you last posted here (I've merged your threads together), you actually applied on the 4th of January, not the 1st. Come back after Jan. 18 and we'll check on the status.
stender Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 Doh Sorry. I've got a canada.com email address and I'm in uk so it's the old 4th Jan Jan 4th syndrome! We say potato. ALthough that would make it 1st of April? April Fools! I'm losing it! bye!
stender Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Right, I now have my UK/US dates straight and am confident it is now 14 days since my application Could somebody please check on my application. Submitted - 4th of Jan 2006 Category - http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Entertainme...tronica/Vinyl/ Editor Name- Stender Many Thanks. Stender
stender Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Thanks. Was just chasing to make sure you had it ok.
stender Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 Hi All, could you please tell me if my application is still unreviewed as I saw a thread saying about problems with emails which was affecting approving/declining. Submitted - 4th of Jan 2006 Category - http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Entertainme...tronica/Vinyl/ Editor Name- Stender It was still awaiting review on the 18th. Thanks
