Hi to all DMOZ editor. I don't know how to express my emotion how upset I am that my site not being listed in one category in DMOZ that I feel that I deserve to be there.I have already applied for inclusion of my site last 6 months. And I have emailed already the editor and still no feedback from him. My site is somewhere in Winter sports category. I dont want to post the specific category here in public forums. But I can pm the editors that will respond to my post here. Please help.Thanks a lot for reading.

I was researching ODP today for the best place to submit a new site (actually a petition about a specific show) and as a result came across a link that brings up a request for a login/pwd .... As I recall, you don't want specific URLs posted here, so I'll just say it's the top link in this category maybe ... ? http://dmoz.org/Arts/Television/Programs/Dramas/Commander_in_Chief/

My site was not listed in my specific category, but I know the editor was active because he was adding his own sites. The beautiful part about this is that his site was stealing my content, from my RSS feed. I hardly see a reason for listing a site that steals content other than having a self-serving nature. Not only this, but also he had sites listed that were parked, forsale on Sedo, etc.. etc... I have filed the appropriate abuse form, but I wanted to get some feedback here if possible. Also, the editor is still in charge of the category, but he did remove my content from his site.

So, how have to proceed with similar sites ? Thanks in advance

How can we write our complaints about editors. Some editors do not add the websites only because of personal problems with the webmasters or they behave discreationary. Where will we contact with ?

I'm just amazed, I try to be a good member of the dmoz community, and keep the directory organized, but no good deed goes unpunished. I requested a category change for a site of ours about a year ago. After over a month, rather than changing the category and updating the description, it was removed. Did the same thing about 2 months ago - requested the site be moved to a different category, because it was no longer relevent for the category it was in - completely removed. This goes to a generalization I've made many times elsewhere on other forums. DMOZ editors (at least in the categories I frequent) are lazy. #1 They rarely actually look to see if a site belong…

How do I get in touch with a category editor, as I believe I have valid concerns with regard to recent modifications made to a category our site is listed in. The change does not apply to our site specifically, but to most sites within the category. Specifically, the sites listed (including our own) are all listed with a geographic location appended to the description (Ours says "Ontario-based"). Since 90% of the listings in our category facilitate 99% of their business online and across borders, I don't see how geographic location would be applicable? Our physical website is located in Canada, but we have physical fulfillment and distribution channels across the USA …

In asking this question I suspect I know the answer but will ask anyway. If we know of a company that's using bad selling techniques and being dishonest in some way - and can prove it of course! - is there a mechanism within DMOZ to report them - i.e. where they are listed in DMOZ? Many thanks

Hello - My site was listed for a few years. I know we are not supposed to post URL's, but I don't know how to explain this situation without doing it. Please delete my post if I am stepping out of line. My site is <url removed>, but within the past year or so it was removed (or changed) in the directory. There is a site listed now, <url removed> that is very product driven and mostly points to another website. This site was listed around the time mine was taken away. I don't necessarily think that an editor is being self serving, but I think that this new site may have tricked an editor to update my listing with this new info (if that is possible). …

I've have tried my best to get our website listed into DMOZ for well over a year now. The category describes exactly what we do without a shadow of a doubt. I have left gaps between submissions of at least 2 months and in the first case over 6 months. The website ... has been submitted to Computers:Software:Bar Code. After the last attempt i noticed the option to apply as an editor was available. As I know a great deal about this subject I was hoping to make my knowledge available to the DMOZ project and help the current editors who are obviously struggling with all the submissions. My application was declined. Apart from the current editors not being able to cop…

Hello All, I would like to get your valued opinion on whether or not you find it ethical/legal for large affiliates to be editors on Dmoz. I understand editors have a lot of influence over various websites and we have found a particular affiliate who has "way to many number one listings on Google to be considered normal." The particular affiliate/editor has reputed earnings of up to $100K per month as a result. Please excuse my ignorance here, but as an editor, does this give you the ability to manipulate your own listings on Google should you host multiple websites. Also, when a complaint is filed to Google Spam, is it managed by google itself of given to …

I have just made a submission, however there are no editors for the 4 levels below the main level that my page would inhabit. I know the DMOZ editors are very busy people, and no more site checks are being done. However is there any information that can be shared on these "orphan" catagories? Or would that happen to be found on another website? Like one of those fund raiser gauges, you know the kind that fill up the more raffle tickets are sold. Is there anything like that, either internally or externally, used to let the editors at large know they should spend some time with a particular catagory? I think something like this would be a good idea. It would show how act…

I believe http://www.aquariumproducts.com.au doesn’t meet the requirements to be listed. Reasons: Spelling mistakes, not coherent, images all over the place, false claim “Beat price by 10%”, selling products that are not authorized by the distributor (kong’s Australia) , poor design, etc

I've just been doing a search on web sites in my local town and found a site which I thought was new in the area, however, it's appearing in various search engines due to heavy keyword loading and lots of hidden content (I'm sure you've all seen this before!) The site in question is in the directory, but is it a valued site if it's actually hiding half of it's content using javascript to get nice rankings? The site is in http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/West_Sussex/East_Grinstead/Business_and_Economy/Computers_and_Internet/ as dynamic webs. Just a personal gripe that when half of the source download of a page doesn't even appear for the v…

Hello All, My appologies if this is a wrong (sub-)forum for posting this query. Please feel free to point me to the more appropriate place for this thread. Here is a timeline to help you understand my attempts to list a quality site with high traffic site within the most relevant category in DMOZ: Step 1: ~2 years ago I requested a listing in http://dmoz.org/Business/Information_Technology/Employment/Job_Search/ Outcome: The listing has never been added. The category has no editors. I noticed that the number of listings in that category has not changed in years. Step 2: ~1 year+ ago I requested a listing in http://dmoz.org/Computers/Open_Source…
