*ahem*

Is there some sort of halt on links that are submitted in comments? Because I have been trying to submit (both to my journal and to other places) three times lately and never gotten a reply.

If I have trolled/wanked and therefore am under some sort of ban I have no problem with it, I would just like to know.

    It's not our policy to ban people for trolling or wanking and we love self-pimping. I'm not sure why the links you submitted weren't added, but after looking at them, the most likely reason is that the editor hasn't gotten to it yet, or missed it.

    The last few weeks things have been particularly busy for our group, and we know things have slipped by us. In general if we don't add a link it's because we forgot, because we didn't think it fit the fandom meta criteria, the post restricted comments or because it seemed very similar to other posts on the same topic.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've posted your question to our editor discussion group, and we're looking at your submissions now.

      Thanks for replying. I hope I didn't sound too whiny. It's not any of them were deep works of discussion art. I did assume that you guys are rather busy at the moment (and you are doing a great job, might I say)

      I actually know that the first link I submitted was turned down because it wasn't fandom. No problem with that.

      I was just wondering because there was this one time (http://community.livejournal.com/metafandom/130312.html) where I tried to submit something and the posts below mine were replied to. Again, no biggie (and the links in this particular post can be considered out of date, so no need to include them anymore :D). Just the kind of thing that can make one paranoid if you haven't gotten a reply for your submissions for a while.

      Anyway, thanks to all of you guys for the great job you are doing.

        You're welcome! It's really nice to hear that it's helpful to people.

        As for that one time, it looks like it may simply have been overlooked? That happens sometimes.

      This post (http://slytherincess.livejournal.com/297709.html) by [livejournal.com profile] slytherincess might be worth looking at.

        I have a post on where LJ is getting its definition of "child porn" (http://lydiabell.livejournal.com/36901.html).

              Looks like we are getting another post tomorrow, according to an e-mail reply I just got from Rachel Frederick, a Six Apart employee.

                Yes, I've seen a response in at least one other place from her that also mentioned there would be a biz post on Monday. I'm not going to link your post as it's not really a discussion, but thanks for the info!
