Hi,
I used to be a DMOZ editor.
When I was an editor, I submitted my own site to a categroy unrelated to the one I was editing (I edited scouting categories, and the site I submitted was about international phonecalls).
I remember that the site I submitted was redmarked or blacklisted (I can't remember the exact term) because it was considered a clone of a long distance phone call service called Just-Dial.
Since then, the focus of the site has changed completely, and it's about explaining various mobile phone deals, and largely explaining how the cashback systems work on mobile phone deals. I wanted to submit it to the UK mobile phones shopping category, but I assume it is still blacklisted, so won't be looked at.
Does anyone know how this blacklisting works, and whether it's possible for it to be removed? If I had a completely new web address, I think my site would have been accepted, but because I used the old brand, it hasn't been.
