I have just been denied the opportunity to become an editor in a niche subject in Malaysia (application user name jamesjazz) I found the reviewers comments interesting: 'Our editor guidelines and a look at existing listings should help you to write acceptable titles and descriptions.' I did not take a copy of my application but I can accept that I maybe put to much effort into checking and reviewing the sites that I deemed were appropriate for a listing in DMOZ and not enough thought into creating acceptable titles and descriptions. After reading the open directory editor guidelines I can see there were a few mistakes such as using the '&' symbol. I cou…

My initial application to become a DMOZ editor was rejected. The DMOZ editor said that one of the website examples was too broad for the category. I spent considerable time searching for another site, not already in the directory, to include. This was not easy. I included a new site and kept my two previous examples because they seemed appropriate for that category. After resubmitting my application, I received another rejection email. In the comments section the DMOZ editor stated: "Your inability/unwillingness to follow our submission guidelines (which require that a website be suggested just once to the one best category)... has convinced us that you'll be unable…

Hi editors A couple of months ago I suggested my website to the Arts-online-ezines-fiction category. At the same time I applied to edit the category, as I couldn't see an existing editor for that category or, indeed, parent categories. During the editor application process I used my own website as one of the three websites requested. I assumed as these were examples to show how I assessed websites to be of the Dmoz standard, it wouldn't be an issue. I then received a message from Dmoz suggesting that I was being underhand, and trying to get my own website listed by unconventional means. Consequently my application to be a Dmoz editor, and my suggestion to list my…

I applied to edit a category and have received an email to say I should reinstate my old account, two problems are that I can't remember username and password and the email address I had was a work one which I don't have anymore. The second problem is that the link to the reinstate form is a 404. Any help appreciated

Hi Jim, just out of interest, do you have an estimate of the typical length of time for evaluation? I submitted to become an editor on 21st November (/Recreation/Travel/Lodging/Directories/) (mellymel). I know you guys have started to evaluate and accept some submissions again and I'm guessing you have months and months of applications to sift through before you get to ones that were submitted over the last few weeks, but if you had any estimate it would be really appreciated - it would also allow me to answer similar posts on here :-) Of course, I understand if its a completely impossible thing to estimate, I'll just be patient and continue to find suitable sites tha…

Hi, This morning my editor application was declined: http://www.dmoz.org/...nd_Development/ application date: Nov 29, 2012 username: chromedome Here are the reviewer's comments: Whilst this application standing alone is largely acceptable, we've re-evaluated your previous applications. There are several inconsistencies between them and the list of associated websites is too variable for comfort. The simultaneous applications didn't look good either. Not everybody is suited to editing so please don't apply again. We wish you well in your future endeavors elsewhere. It's clear this particular administrator does not want me to submit another applicatio…

Few Days ago I applied to volunteer a category. My application was rejected, and I applied again in other smaller category without noticing 'reviewer comment' section of the email because in most of the previous rejection emails it was blank. The Reviewer had commented the following: There is no need to apply again. We wish you well in your future endeavours elsewhere. I want to ask(request)while respecting the comment of the Reviewer, Can I apply again in a category in which I am REALLY interested ? I accept the fact that I made some conflicts in my previous form(s). I promise not to do again. P.S. I have already applied for a category after receiving above…
