deezin Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Hi there. I just tried to login to my editor account and it says that I was kicked out because of: Repeated failure to comply with the Open Directory community's editorial guidelines and policies. Continuous poor and/or abusive editing. Self-promotion and biased editing, including, but not limited to, cooling your own site, title or description manipulation, unfairly editing your own sites or those with which you are affiliated. Unfairly tampering with competitors' listings and submissions. Inability to function well within the Open Directory community. Uncivil and intentionally disruptive behavor. Violation of Open Directory forum and email privacy. Spamming the directory. But I was a good editor and never did any of these things. I only posted on the forum once and it was a reply to a question that somebody had. The only thing that I can think of that might have gotten me kicked out is that I tried to submit an application for the travel section and I listed my affiliation with the travel site that I run on the application, however, I got a message from an editor saying that I didn't list all of my sites in the member's section ... and so then I added them to dmoz immediately after getting the message- and I own tons of domains that I never have even used, just projects that never got off the ground...and ones that my sister and dad and firiend own, I listed too (which I had no idea that I had to list since they aren't my sites) ....as well as 2 sites that I had just that week purchased from a buyer on sedo.com (but also have no relation to either of my categories or to travel). I wasnt hiding them, in fact they have absolutely nothing to do with any of my 2 categories that I run so there was no conflict of interest. The only site that has a conflict of interest is allcreativeportfolios.com and that I was clear about when I signed up for that category...and alltravelingkidsfamilyvacations.com which I was clear about. So I don't understand why I was kicked out. The only section I tried to sign up for was the traveling one and I was clear about the traveling site that I run...so I am clueless. And there was one time that I contacted the editor who rejected my travel application to ask what I can do to improve as an editor so that I would get approved..but I see nothing wrong with that either, I was just trying to improve. I am just so upset that I want to cry because I have no idea what I did wrong. Thanks for your input...my login on dmoz was deezin2
motsa Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I'm sorry but we don't discuss editor removals here in this forum. We wish you all the best in your other endeavours.
