Broken process to site submission.

Hello, nearly 2 years ago I submitted my website. After waiting 6 months from that date, I assumed my submission was rejected so I submitted again. Alas, a year from the first submission I still had nothing. I am completely confused.

 

I am sure you guys know best how to best run things; but there are indeed some problems. My question is, why not automate? A person opens an account, then opens a request--the request is either accepted or rejected and there can be real-time status on what is going on. A chain of comments etc. A history of who is "on the case" etc.

The process isn't "broken" -- it just isn't what you think it is. It does what it was intended to do, and does it very efficiently.

May I ask why.

Why did you think your site was rejected?

A site is only rejected when it violates DMOZ guidelines. And if it does it should never has been suggested.

Why suggest it again?

This is only usefull if the site has undergone major changes like adding large amount of unique content. In all other cases it will most probably be rejected again. Do this enough times and you will be seen as a spammer.
