The first time I tried to submit my site to DMOZ I did not consider the rules. But for the last 6 times I have read them over and over. I have been trying for a year and ½ now. I have studied the submission rules and know them by heart. Still no acceptations. No Matter what I do DMOZ will not approve my site link.

It is a free classifieds so I know it is not the category because I have chosen free classifieds. I’ve even cut down my description to little or nothing. The next time I submit a listing on DMOZ it will be simply “Online Classifieds Site”. I think it is the editor discriminating against my site. I can not find anyway to fix this problem.

Stop right there. Don't you recall the instructions to suggest your site, once, to the best category? In any case, suggestions made before the great crash of 2006 may have been lost. If all of your suggestions were before then, you may suggest the site once more. If not, you've done all you can do.

That is not a valid description, so I wouldn't suggest using it.
Online - all sites are online, so we don't generally need to use this word in a description.
Classifieds - OK, but as the second word of a sentence should not be capitalised
Site - again, unneccessary to mention it in a description as if it isn't a site it isn't available on the net. Capitalising the 3rd word of a sentence is also not acceptable.

Perhaps it's worth taking a couple of minutes to read the editor guidelines on descriptions at http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/describing.html#descriptions .
