Just a short question. I added some links about a week ago, i see one added since - what is going on with the other 3? Sad

Is there a selection process? And if so, on what kind of criteria is it based?

Thanks Sue

hi sue, no - there is no "selection process" really. you submit a link, we look at it as fast as possible (it can take a couple days sometimes - in the very worst scenario) and we add them. we basically just check on the terms a) is it diving related and added to the best possible category / or a new cat. required, b) is it porn or other garbage / spam, c) is it a link that exist already / was removed before.

checking on your links mentioned, yes - one went up, and the others are all already in the database. that might be in categories you dont see fit really. as long as we can see a "match" we go with the suggestion of the poster, you have the option to request a modification - if you think it is posted wrong. if the link was posted before your request, we review the link and category if needed and adjust it, but the link will be not added again. generally we try to stay with links in a single cat. period. you need to make up your mind whats the best place - there are very few and rare instances where we go with multi listings and you better have good reasoning for it.

i hope that helps, Lsdeep
