azmacgyver Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I received a error/404 style page after pushing submit a few weeks ago, I tried again immediately after thinking it was a temporary problem, but I got the same error. Please advise if this submission was received or if I need to resubmit. I'm also concerned the multiple submission within a few minutes might have cancelled the submission out. Just want to get the ball rolling. Thanks! http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/M/

azmacgyver Posted September 16, 2003 Author Posted September 16, 2003 sorry about that, forgot. added the topic in my original post too. http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Consumer_Electronics/M/
azmacgyver Posted September 17, 2003 Author Posted September 17, 2003 just making sure my status request didn't get forgot about because I forgot the category URL in my first post I'm not sure if my submission even went through, just want that confirmed and any add'l info appreciated. Thx!
Meta kokopeli Posted September 17, 2003 Meta Posted September 17, 2003 Sorry your thread got missed Acutally, the submission didn't get through...it is not waiting there at all, nor has it been reviewed/deleted. Please resubmit.
azmacgyver Posted September 17, 2003 Author Posted September 17, 2003 Hi, can you check one more time to see if it went through? This time I had to hit submit like 6 times in 90 minutes as I gave it 15 minutes each time, to return a confirmation page with no luck. The last time I tried it put on a blank page so it may have went through.. Please delete any multiple submissions if more than one got through! Thanks
Meta kokopeli Posted September 17, 2003 Meta Posted September 17, 2003 It isn't. I started to add it (to unreived, not list it)but I cannot get the site to respond and am uncomfortable doing so if I cannot view it. I tried both Netscape and Explorer and they time out. You might want to wait awhile and try again later. Sorry
azmacgyver Posted September 23, 2003 Author Posted September 23, 2003 hi Kokopeli, any chance you can try reaching the site again? I've tried for about a week now to submit the site through DMOZ but after I hit submit it never gives me a confirmation page. I'm sure I'll eventually be able to submit but want to get the site in the waiting list at least. Thanks
Meta kokopeli Posted September 23, 2003 Meta Posted September 23, 2003 actually, there is no need...looking at editor notes it was snagged by the spam filter and moved to a holding area--so, one of your submissions did get through. It will be moved to the area you submitted to soon, there is no need to worry about resubmitting Lin ...I should also mention that this is not meant to imply your site is spam, occasionally the filter catches non-spammy submits but is necessary due to an excessive amount of spam that is submitted. It is the lesser of two evils you might say
azmacgyver Posted October 8, 2003 Author Posted October 8, 2003 Hi kokopeli, I know its sooner than a month but I was just hoping you could confirm that my site did indeed get put out of the spam holding area. If it did I'll check back with you in late October to get status. Just want to make sure I'm making forward progress. lol Thanks
Meta hutcheson Posted October 8, 2003 Meta Posted October 8, 2003 In a month....there aren't different forum rules depending on where a site is.
azmacgyver Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Looking for a monthly status report. Would love an estimated time frame too if at all possible. Thanks much!
John_Caius Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 It is now in the unreviewed queue you wanted it submitted to. I estimate that it will be listed on the 19th January 2004. Please understand that this is only an estimate, since I do not have the psychic powers required to be able to predict the future activity of volunteer editors.
azmacgyver Posted November 26, 2003 Author Posted November 26, 2003 Shopping: Consumer Electronics: M (11) Looking for a status update. Any closer to being listed? It doesn't seem the category is that popular! Thanks
lachenm Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 I'm afraid there has been no change. Your site is still awaiting review in that category. And there really isn't a concept of "closer" when talking about being reviewed in the ODP. Editors can view the list of suggested sites in several different orders, and are not required to process the sites in any particular order, regardless of how they are viewed. As a result, it is impossible to predict accurately when any particular site will be reviewed. However, since your site will almost certainly be reviewed at some point in time, and since time tends to move forward, your site is getting closer to being reviewed with every passing second.
azmacgyver Posted December 23, 2003 Author Posted December 23, 2003 Shopping: Consumer Electronics: M (11) Status request please. Also, anyone able to confirm that an editor currently exists for our category? Thx in advance!
yapuka Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Your suggestion is still waiting for review in that category. Happy hollidays!
azmacgyver Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 Shopping: Consumer Electronics: M (11) Just lookin for a current status. Also, is anyone able to confirm that an editor currently exists for the above category? It seems as though noone is there.
Guest Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 There is an editor in Shopping: Consumer Electronics. I'm sure he or she will get around to "M" eventually. In addition, any of the Shopping editors or EditAlls who can edit anywhere in the directory can approve (or deny) your submission.
