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 :-)

Thank you in advance for advice regarding my query..... Perhaps I have not looked hard enough, but under my own steam alone, I have been unable to determine the answer to the following.... Is it acceptable through these forums to enquire of the editors the progress (or otherwise) of a web site submission to the ODP? I submitted a site for consideration some 8 months ago and to date it is not listed. A subsequent follow up mail sent by me to staff@dmoz.org requesting feedback has yielded no reply after several months.... Would it breach the rules of the forum for me to post the URL of my site within this forum, requesting that an amenable editor might be ki…

The web templates category is lack of quality. The following web site is closed or cannot be found. Site Closed http://www.bimsan.net/ http://www.1stthebest.com/ The following site is selling illegal templates. They are selling either templatemonster, boxedart, designloads, deonixdesign, or any other legitimate templates provider site. Illegal Site http://templatetimes.com Maybe some people can remove it.

And I dont own any templates site, I use their services and I…

I was attempting to reach out to a couple of category editors and when I try to fill out the form, I get a Proxy Error (the proxy server could not handle the request). I've tried it from two different computers on different networks and get the same error. And I get the same error while trying to reach two different editors. Temporary problem, or something else? Please let me know and thanks for your help!

Is it possible to talk to a live person at dmoz? Here's my problem. I have been listed under web templates for about 4 years. Last Nov-Dec I noticed my listed was deleted. I contacted the editor ([snip]) and they told me to not bother to list my website because it was "an affiliate site". I know that this person did not look at my site because I have 1050+ of my own web templates for sale. I do have template monster templates on my site. Still, my content is unique and is one of the larger web template sites. I feel this was editor abuse because while my site was deleted the following sites remained: http://www.buydezign.com/ - no templates, forwards to another …

Here is the thread people seem to go to but inactives can't post to it. http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=52274 Suggest that people who need to post to regain access to resource-zone posting post here since the members lounge doesn't allow posting from inactive members. (or this could be moved to bugs or something).

Also includes immigration, emigration, and information links. .... but ther'es no jobs on there website, not eve…

I am posting to make you aware of a website linked to in:- Top: Games: Video Games: Action-Adventure: Survival Horror: D Series: D2 The site is titled:- "D2" With the description:- "Official site. Features story, wallpaper, hints, characters, screen shots, cheats, codes, and links." It links to:- "http://www.sega.com/pc/catalog/SegaProduct.jhtml?PRODID=166&CATID=72" --------------------- The WHOLE of the above entry is wrong. Not erronous, but actually a blatent lie and also now does not exist, so points to a non-existant page.

Hello, First of all, I would like to thank everyone at dmoz for their time that they invest into this service. I represent the 4th largest political party in the United Kingdom. The British National Party - www.bnp.org.uk We are officially recognised by the electoral commission as Britain's 4th largest political party. Sadly, there are many political opponents of ours, that play games, subvert and do their best to cause us all manner of logistical problems, including misrepresenting what we actually stand for and our what our policies actually are. Issues that we wish to raise 1) There are over 30 political parties listed on the main UK political par…

The four MAPS listings are no longer accurate. (June, 2005) None of the described information is available. They are redirects. Blacklist of Internet Advertisers http://www.non.com/news.answers/advertisers-blacklist.html "Last-modified: 15 Nov 1995 06:03:54 +0100" Not one of the listings remains applicable. http://www.cluelessmailers.org/ Last Updated 4/19/03 The Spamware Vendor List (spamsites.org) has not been active in some time: "Why is spamsites.org not being updated regularly?"

We listed with DMOZ back in 2003 or thereabouts and everything was fine, we thought it was a done deal, no need to check back ever. Now I find that our site is not listed anymore, in any category. This completely baffles me because our site has never been down or offline in the last 8 years, we make hand tools so this can't be objectionable, and we were in the correct category all along, and our web site has not been revised since we originally listed. What can I do to find out why we were removed from DMOZ and how we can contest the issue and get re-listed properly. For all of the above reasons I cannot for the life of me understand why our listing would be removed. P…

I would request the reputable Directory ODP to include such nasty sites.

A local competitor of mine decided to copy my meta tag source code verbatim, as well as much of my text on my homepage. Worried about being thrown off the search engines for a mirrored site (she is now enjoying number one placement in many searches so she is being reindexed daily by Google), I was forced to change my meta tag source codes and text. This person is listed in the ODP, while I am still trying to find out my status. Now this unscrupulous person is spamming by placing the same keyword on the homepage of her site over 136 times, yet she still remains in the top position. What can I do about this? Is this person breaking the rules? (Besides being a criminal) Sh…

Our link for "Math Learning Center" is seriously incorrect and is leading to misrepresentation of our business to customers and search engine results. It appears on such pages as the search results for keyword search "math learning center". Current listing: Math Learning Center - Math remediation for students in grades 1-8 conducted through the Cal Extension program. Link is correct but everything else is in need of update. Could we change this entry to: Making Math Real Institute - Provides comprehensive professional development courses for all parents, educators, and educational institutions for teaching our original and innovative simultaneous multisenso…

Considering the state of the economy, providing modern day resources for saving money should be considered greater than the zero priority ODP has given it by ignoring it completely for years. http://www.dmoz.org/Home/Homemaking/Frugality/Coupons/ The top link in this directory hasn't even updated it's home page in more than 2 years. The rest scream out "this is so 1990's". I applied years ago to be an editor for this category since I know the space well (wouldn't need to filter through thousands of site requests in order to improve it), but it's clearly off the radar, or (putting on the tin foil hat) being intentionally locked down perhaps for the benefit of one…

There is a website listed in dmoz that is (for example) http://www.mywebsite.co.uk There is another 2 web addresses, one (again examples) is http://www.thatwebsite.co.uk and the other is http://www.anotherwebsiter.co.uk http://www.thatwebsite.co.uk has 1 page with basic info (good for search engines) that after a few seconds goes to http://www.mywebsite.co.uk http://www.anotherwebsite.co.uk has some products but also links to http://www.mywebsite.co.uk...the products in http://www.anotherwebsite.co.uk are a subset of the products from http://www.myweb…
