Application Status - Help!

[alinsomniac]

Hi,

 

It's been about 20 days since i submitted by application, still haven't received any response besides an acknowledgement e-mail

 

Here are the details of the submission:

 

Category URL: http://www.dmoz.org/...ism/Anti-Media/

 

Username: alinsomniac

 

<email removed>

 

Kindly help!

 

Thanks in advance.

Awaiting evaluation.

[alinsomniac]

Thanks for the prompt response. Much appreciated.

 

However, as this is the first time that i have applied with Dmoz, was wondering if you could help me with a couple of queries.

 

1. Someone told me that when applying to a small directory, there is a possiiblity that the category has no active evaluator. In such a scenrio, the application may never get evaluated. How accurate is this info?

2. If the above is untrue, how long should i wait for the response?

3. Is there any way to speed up the process?

 

Once again, thanks in advance!

Wrong. All applicatons are handled by the same group of (very experienced) editors.

 

2. If the above is untrue, how long should i wait for the response?

Unfortunately, until it arrives. All our work - including this - is done by volunteers like you want to become one, and as a result we cannot predict processing times.

 

3. Is there any way to speed up the process?

Nope, sorry.

 

If you are interested, you might want to have a look at http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/guidelines/meta/apps.html and the surrounding documents.

Thanks for the info. Guess there is no other option but to wait.

The first listing in this cat, <URL removed>, is listed at least five times within Society/. That looks like about four times too many to me.

[jimnoble]

It's quite common for non commercial sites to have several listings at editorial discretion and that's OK.

 

If you have other quality control comments to make, please do so in the appropriate place

[alinsomniac]

Still waiting...!

Any help..?

[jimnoble]

It's been declined with specific comments.

Ya.. just received the response. Alas.

As far as i understand the issue, i guess 'honesty' here needs to be confined within the supposed norms of neutralism. Nevertheless, will give it another try someday.
