Thank you for your submission to Langmaker! The site has been successful due to the contributions of people such as you.
Q. Do you publish everything that is submitted?
A. We publish almost all new submissions, but only about two-thirds of submitted neologisms (see below).
Q. How long until my submission is posted?
A. It can take up to eight weeks. We're all volunteers with jobs, schoolwork, families, conlangs of our own and plans for world domination (conworld domination, that is). We do eventually get to all submissions. The Langmaker.com Directory Statistics page shows, among other items, the last time we updated a specific directory. Feel free to contact me with questions about a specific submission. And if you are really bothered by our slowness, volunteer!
Q. How long until my submission is shown on the home page?
A. Once it is uploaded to the directory, it can take up to 31 days before your item is featured on the home page, if it is shown on the home page at all. Repeated changes within a month aren't published on the home page, nor are what I consider to be minor submissions (perhaps you've just started your language page, and it doesn't have much detail yet).
Q. Can you comment on my conlang?
A. I don't really have time to comment in depth on anyone's specific language. I can barely keep up with the number of submissions to Langmaker.com these days. Your best bet for comments is to join one of the mailing lists I reference in the resource section.
Q. Why didn't you publish the New English word I submitted?
A. I typically reject the following types of words. Feel free to add your words to your own site!
 Eponymous words (named after some friend or enemy of yours)Silly acronyms
Words borrowed from conlangs
Words meaning "watchmacallit"
Words whose form doesn't match English phonotactics or doesn't indicate the meaning.
