Day 33 What are the reasons people are denied for being a editor?

Well I looked into my email today, I then remember about my application. I haven't received a reply yet. This gives me an idea to look over my application I sent in. I notice little errors that could have been fixed. (As Homer Simpson would say "DOE!!!")

This gets me to thinking, "What are the reasons people are denied for an editor position at the ODP?" So what I do is I once again look over the Open Directory's guidelines. After a careful look, I head over to the resource forum.

When I log on one thing I notice is that they don’t talk about specific applications in the forum , one thing that is explained is if you are rejected compare your list with the application you submitted. Which make sense, because if you don’t know what you’re doing wrong on an application, how can you be an editor?

Here are a is a thread I looked at the resource zone

That is just one reason though. There are others. One is sometimes the category that one applied for is too big for a trainee, or it is already well represented, or it is too spammy. (The category receive sites from spammers often)

I find this thread funny, a pretty ignorant guy speaks about his rejected application:
