Scubadiving Section?

[nitrogendreams]

Hi, can I know if the editors of the Scuba Diving section are still active in the DMOZ project?

 

My experience is that I owned over 12 diving websites, and since 2005. (january) I have submitted my sites... well over 13 months later not one of them is on DMOZ...

 

and guess what? every 4 months I do the whole process again.

I just find this quite funny.

 

Any idea?

Hello,

 

Since you have submitted your sites, nothing more needs to be done. It is really best to just forget about it now. There is no need to keep resubmitting every 4 months.

 

Thanks

A word to the wise!

 

One!

 

You should only submit once. Future submissions overwrite earlier ones - so given that the unreviewed queue is sorted by date by default- you are potentially increasing the time to review your site as editors often review sites in date order.

 

Also if you own 12 sites - you should still generally only submit one of them. Multiple submissions of multiple sites by the same owner/business is considered spamming under our guidelines. The exception to this would be if you had created 12 sites for other businesses (say as a web designer) - but if the 12 sites are your own. Only 1 will normally be considered for a listing.

 

As for whether scuba diving categories are looked at by editors - they are. But since we're volunteers we contribute time as and when we can. I did some edits in the technical diving section and a lot in the European (mainly UK bit) diving section in December.

 

But we cannot predict when someone will look at a particular category - I review based on what interests me at the time :-)
