Hi, I was an editor but I didn't log in for a while and obviously it was too long so now I get the "You must get reinstated" to log in stuff. I don't want to get reinstated right now, but I was just wondering if it was possible for a member of staff to edit my editor profile? It has my e-mail address in it, and it comes up on google. It's the same username as the one I'm posting with

There is a chronic complaint that the DMOZ is not responsive – both with those who volunteer to help resolve the problem by volunteering as editors and those who wish only to submit a site to the appropriate category. DMOZ is a great project but suffers from the classic archetype “Tragedy of the Commons” : to much success becomes its own downfall. Unless DMOZ can get its communications better organized and become a responsive organization, it will be its own worst enemy. Many people submit site inclusion requests for legitimate sites that are never included in the DMOZ, nor are the submitters ever notified there is a problem. As a Web professional for the Cha…

Here I would like to give a suggestion and I think if it will be done then dmoz will create most unique look for surfers, Befor this if we will make a search for "computer" in dmoz then it displays only english results. But I would like to suggest that if a person search for "computer" then dmoz should show results in english and all available languages. Before this I have suggested to show page numbers on bottom like Gooooogle. Thanks for your precious times.

I have submitted sites to DMOZ over a few years and have never had one listed in the directory. Some of my sites are at the top of search engine results and have Wikipedia references. I have sites that get 15,000+ unique visitors a month and 100,000+ page views My sites contain news and information that I believe are interesting to my website viewers and the testimonials I receive confirm that I am providing a useful web service. One site in particular I submitted (which has not been listed) gets a lot of it's content ripped by a 'quick rich type of site', this site is now listed in DMOZ. I did send a message to the editor listed for my category and never receive…

The next day the papers where graded and 90 percent of the students failed the test .... every one got all the questions wright ... so how did we all fail? AT the bottom of the test there was a paragraph that said do not answer any of these questions just sign your name at the top and …

It appears that there are a number of viewers who do not get their website listed in the DMOZ directory,for whatever reason, if none at all, despite numerous attempts and submissions from keen website designers or dark side SEO mystic wizards. Would'nt it be good to see a forum to see the reasons why websites have not been included and the suggestions to get listed possibly in future submissions. or perhaps it doesnt really matter these days, if websites are not listed at all in DMOZ, as some good SEO experts claim. <URL removed. Link drops not appreciated here.>

Hi, DMOZ has been timing out for me all day. Is this an ISP problem (sometimes I can access any site but google.com, it's odd), or is it globally down?

I changed the URL of my site about 3 months ago. I added a 301 redirect, and filled out the "update url" request. The site documentation says that a DMOZ crawler should notice the 301 redirect and change the listing automatically. Is that still the case? If not, is there anything I can do to expedite it? I know there is often an editing delay, but if there is anything I can change with my redirect or anything else, I'd be happy to do it.

Hello dear editors I have noticed today that my internet site <URL removed> has been suddenly removed from the directories in dmoz. It has unique content we produce ourselves, it has been listed for very many years, regularly updated and it is not a replica of any other internet site Who did it? There already had been such a situation several years ago, when one particular editor did it playing for his own profit. I hope it not the case again Please, clarify. Thank you for help. Best regards Sergey Polianichevski

I originally submitted my web hosting company, "Infuseweb", to DMOZ right before the server crash. I waited 6 months or so until the problem was supposedly resolved then submitted again at you guys' recommendation. Waited another 6 months and still nothing, so I tried a last ditch effort 2-3 months ago and again, still nothing. I'm seriously at a loss as to why this is taking SOOO long. I've tried to be as patient and understand as I can be, but at some point you've got to scratch your head and say "what's the deal?" There's nothing on the site that should be delaying getting on DMOZ, and given 2 years someone should have gotten around to reviewing it, right? And …

I think if the editors cannot help from this zone, It should be stopped. Becoz 99% peopel are dissatisfy from the answers. If it is not useful and cannot resolve the problems, So it should be stopped. I really dont know, what is the basic purpose of the this zone, If editors have the same answer, Dont Send Private Messages, We Cannot Tell The Status, So why we are here to putting the questions and waiting for a soluble answer? Sorry, to those who feel bad.... Kashif

I'd be pleased if someone could help me resolve this issue, as I am certain it affects the whole DMOZ community. My first question is - Who can I report this problem to? Let me explain some detail to this issue.... In creating a submission to DMOZ, the guidelines suggest that you search DMOZ first to make sure your site is not included (step 2) before going onto look for an appropriate category to use (Step 3) so that you don't waste people's time. I have found that the search utility does not function correctly (either in the normal mode or the advanced) and I have tested this on the site - now, before you go off thinking "dumb user" - I'm an IT Consultant wi…

I have found a Discrepancy in the Directory regarding Harry Potter RPGs. When navigating to Harry Potter RPGs, (Games, Online,Roleplaying,Television and Movies, Harry Potter Series) It takes you to a category called Hogwarts under Harry Potter games, which makes it seem like all Harry Potter RPGs should go in it (from the way I accessed it), yet if you accessed it a different way it would seem that it should only be Hogwarts RPGs. I suggest that all Harry Potter RPGs be condensed into one category, so that people do not get confused as to what should be there. Edit: There is also yet another category titled Harry Potter RPGs that has completly different listings. …
