Hello everyone, Over the past few years myself and more than dozens of people where trying to suggest websites to the Israeli Dmoz directory (located here : http://www.dmoz.org/World/Hebrew/) unsuccessfully. All of the forums in Israel are talking about that phenomenon. Israel's editors have been rejecting/ignoring thousands of requests. On the other hand, we see that the directory sometimes include few websites that are connected to the same person, as if the editors only take care of people they know. I myself have trying suggesting more than 20 websites (related, and unrelated to me) for different categories over the years. Israel's Dmoz directory is so unup…

Please delete the link for my personal business resume. Someone has found an old site on lycos that has my very personal information. This has endless identity theft possibilities. I have been a victim of almost all of them at this point. Here's one more. I did NOT submit this site and have deleted it. The cache is still visible and the link is now broken. Please delete. I can't take any more. Thank you. That link is: http://alishamodel.tripod.com/ By the way..this is the only official site: WWW.ALISHAGRAY.COM All others are fan or sites that are linking to mine. Thanks, Alisha

With regards to mr leroys post about profiles, i agree that if a editor, ex or not could ask to have their profiles removed, it would save having embarrassing images like this on the ODP: http://dmoz.org/profiles/mrleroy.html Thats my 2 cents on it anyhow

I would just like to know if anyone else grees with with this editor said about my sites. "It is unlikely that both URLs will be listed. I can't tell whether either one can be listed -- RIGHT, I'm going to go into administrative mode to install software to view a website ... NOT! Public service announcement: You webmasters are going to have to move into the new millenium, and cooperate with your viewers to protect their machines -- or you're going to lose the trust of all the intelligent viewers.

Hi, Base on this url http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/Personal/T/ I found 2 different urls but redirected to the same url (The content of the site is exactly the same.) Tim Yang: The Edge - Tim Yang's blog. The travelogue of an Asian guy. Includes the Put Up a Blogger campaign. Tim's Journal - The thoughts and adventures of a guy trying to get through life. After hours, he's a muay thai fighter and body builder. During the day, he's an ad agency copywriter. I believe the webmaster is trying to fool the dmoz editor. In my opinion, webmasters that intend to cheat/fool the dmoz editors should get their url delisted from the directory. (…

I checked all of the sites in the above mentioned category and here is what I found (without URLs): Most of the sites share a common pattern : Very poor design. But there are much much more things to say about them: For example, about one of the sites: The site is moved to a new URL! Your linked site just redirects you to the new site. And when I go to the link they give (http://www.rationalreality.com/) what I found is a site totally unrelated with Quran&Science at all. There even are articles about "Israel & Democracy" and "Iraq War" in the new site. What is this? A joke? Let's look at another one: It is a poorly written site with no original content.…

I’m new to this forum. I have spent quite a bit of time tonight reading posts from angry website owners, some with conspiracy theories, in the Quality Control Feedback thread. I was drawn to this particular thread because I too questioned ODP and the editor of the category that I feel I would fit best in. I even reported possible editor abuse, although I did confess in my report that I don’t know if its abuse or if I’m simply interpreting the category incorrectly. Brief description of my situation – I work for an online retailer. We do not have a brick and mortar store of any kind. We are currently listed in the regional category where our warehouse is located, which …

http://dmoz.com/Sports/Resources/Directories/ 1. ALeague Sports (none of the pages on this site work; which = bad content. This goes against the dmoz.com rules. Plus it wastes space). 2. 100hot Sports (this site is more then sports. It's a general search engine that should be listed under the search engine category. Same content as other sites I've seen listed under sports directories). 3. Searchsports (Should this site be listed under the sports shopping category, instead? I think so). 4. Sports, Health and Fitness Message Boards (This site belongs in the category of sports message boards). 5. Worldeasy (What does a traveling site have to do with sports?…
