Quality Control Feedback
You can report quality control issues and generic abuse reports with no mention of specific URLs, editors or categories here.
Issues with links can be reported directly in the directory (flag icon to the right of each listing) or in the forum thread below. Thanks :-)

DMOZ Documentation Project page which describes editor ACTIONS which seem to be self-serving. If you are an editor, there is an internal way to report something which looks wrong. If you are NOT an editor, as mentioned in the above link, you can go to Public Abuse Report System and fill out the form. Webmasters, keep in mind that... Editor inaction is not abuse. A site not getting listed is, with 99.9% certainty on my part, due to inaction rather than malice. Competitors being listed while you are not is probably not abuse, just a combination of good timing and editor interest in the category. Competitors being editors is not automatically…

Dear Editors, Currently we have our “Eagle Property Management, Inc.” site listed in the DMOZ at: http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Tennessee/Localities/P/Pigeon_Forge/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/ The URL (http://www.smokymountaincabinrentals.com/ ) of this listing in NOT owned by “Eagle Property Management, Inc.”, it is owned and controlled by a former contractor who is continually re-directing to competitive sites and dead linking it. We would like “Eagle Property Management, Inc.” to point to: http://www.1epm.com. I like to thank you in advance for any help in getting this listing changed, Eagle Property Management, Inc.

Domain with Multiple Listings

http://dmoz.org/World/Espa%f1ol/Pa%edses/M%e9xico/Estados/Veracruz/Municipios/Veracruz/ The Site listed as "Hospedaje Web" is listed using a sub folder to disguise their listing - this link redirects to their home page. Anyhow they are based in Monterrey, not Veracruz (about 1000+ miles apart) so really not appropriate for them to appear in this category. I would suspect that this site has (or has attempted) to get listed in many regional categories, so it may of interest for an editor to look for all listing for this domain.

If you'll notice, above the dmoz rz logo in the Quality Control Feedback, there's a little string of text as follows: Open Directory Public Abuse Report System." /> Don't know what it goes to, but I just thought it was ironic. Having a bug in the bug squashing section... ~Polly

If we navigate to category: http://www.dmoz.org/World/Hindi/%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AF/ There under "अन्य भाषाओं में यही वर्ग" section, there is a word "अङ्ग्रेज़ी" which means English. Actually may be a translator was used in ODP project to translate that page and it made mistake. अङ्ग्रेज़ी is wrong word. It should be correctly spelled as "अंग्रेज़ी". Hope you would take require action against this error. Happy to help Web and have dream to become Editor. Thanks!

Goodmorning Re: http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/London/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Services/Tour_Operators/ This category used to be really out-of-date, key words used to be repeated throughout the titles and descriptions. It was partially updated about a week ago but it appears that two or 3 sites have slipped through: i)Beatles London Walking Tour- this repeats the word "london" in the description. ii) Black Cab Tours of London- repeats the word "london" in the description. iii)Black Taxi Tours of London - repeats "london" two more times in description. iv)London Taxi Tour - repeats "London" four times in description. v)London Walking T…

It's time for a fresh start. The previous thread with a name similar to this one's was a mixture of valid concerns about language issues and accusations about the category in question. Accusations are in violation of the guidelines of this forum and will not be tolerated. Language issues should be addressed in the General ODP Issues forum. I'll try to pick the valid issues out of the deleted thread and start a new thread there. [added] The new thread is here.

I am sure you receive your fair share of complaints. However, I would like to send a thank you and a kudos out to whom ever the editor is for the Memphis Tennessee Real Estate section. I submitted an edit on my listing and it was taken care of almost immediately. Thank you again.

I'm not sure what happened here. I tried to delete a post and ended up deleting the whole thread instead. What I wrote was: I'm afraid the points mentioned here are too clearly directed at a specific and identifiable editor. Even though that editor isn't named in the post, I'm going to have to delete it. For allegations that are this specific, please report them via http://report-abuse.dmoz.org/ . I'm not complaining about the fact of your report, and I haven't looked into it yet to verify its validity. I'm just saying it shouldn't be made publicly.

Well, today I visited http://dmoz.org/Health/Weight_Loss/ and got disappointed of how poor site is listed there. "Lose Body Weight - Articles describe changes in lifestyle that will assist with weight management." If you take a close look at this site you will realise that it uses duplicate and rewritten content only. Does such site have any permission to be listed in dmoz? I do not think so. Just for fun I am attaching Google search queries, so that everyone can see what I am talking about: query 1 - see that edu domain! query 2 - yes, content from articles directories! query 3 - oh, another article directory's content query 4 - another "unique" cont…
