As a reminder: Please do not post abuse reports in public. We are working on restoring the ODP communication systems, and once the Public Abuse Report System is back in place, we will accept your abuse reports there.

Nachfragen ;-) Antwort sollte in Deinem anderen Thread gegeben worden sein, siehe dort.

Re: home-based-business-opportunities-guide.com No, that is not. DMOZ does NOT send out acceptance-mails. (More via personal feedback)

Please remember the forum guidelines - leave at least a month between enquiries. Thank you.

I am relly sorry, but it has not been reviewed yet. In some areas - specially oin the Shopping/ tree - we have huge backlogs and as good as no active editors compared to that number. Since they normally are attracting a lot of spam, it is on th one hand difficult to find good (non-abusive) editors for that work, on the other hand the work is quite boring, so many experienced editors dislike working there. So I guess it will take its time - we don't know how long that might be.

There are lots of good sites out there, maybe yours is one of them. To keep this forum alive and a usefull source of information we can't follow the "Please process my site" requests. If we did, this forum would become useless within some days. So a posting in here won't have any impact on the time it takes for a site to be processed. Thanks for understanding.

Re: home-based-business-opportunities-guide.com Sorry, still waiting.

Sorry to say, no significant change occured yet.

It is _reachable_ from the main site and a lot of information about it is available directly onthe site itself - see http://www.medical.philips.com/main/products/resuscitation/industry/home/index.html or anywhere around it. We don't care how the information is spread on the internet and if it is on one or multiple domains s long as it is one package.

"moved up" There is no "up" - editors may choose to process submissions in any order. "submit somewhere else" submitting to a wrong category instead of the right one will result in an editor moving it back into the right one. Normally he has no rights to edit this one, so it will stay unreviewed. --> Additional work with no benefit.

Of course we log IPs for submissions - but as you can imagine we don't hand them to the public for privacy reasons.

I was thinking of the at least part of the guidelines.

If the material is yours, you could claim your copyright. That is a legal issue, we can't give any legal advice - contact your lawyer about it. Regarding the forum guidelines, we do not discuss site contents in here. To find your texts, try to search for your texts with searchengines. Sorry, but that is no criteria. There are two scenarios: a) Content is copied as you say. We can't know who submits his site first / is listed first. Might be the originator of the content, might be someone who copied it. b) Someone sets up several mirrors. We might list one. Maybe. If the person does not spam the directory. If we feel that the content is worth it To be honest, its nearly impossible to differ between the two possibilities. In some areas we assume that submitters are nice, in others our experience tells us that they are not. We are very restricting with online-casino sites due to the heavy amount of online-casino-spam flooding the ODP. That may be unfair against honest people, but we simply have no choice.
