---- Should Directories or Sites That Accept Links or Listings Explain Why They Reject a Specific Listing?

This uncommunicative idea isn't limited to directories. I have an events calendar that folks can submit event notices to. It's limited to niche hobby events.

An amazing number of folks don't include the basic info even though it's requested right there in front of them! It's on the screen, just read it!

Anyhow, back to uncommunicative..... I quit even sending a reply asking for the rest of the basics because less than 1 in 10 would reply with the rest of the info.

These are all live submissions and they don't even get the idea that info such as city and state might actually be needed.

If they don't care enough to submit the required info, why should a webmaster bother trying to pry it out of them?
