I just signed up for the board because I had a specific question, and now that I have read several of the other posts, I have to say I am a bit disturbed at the expressed dissatisfaction with ODP lack of communication. Initially I would have to say I was taken back at this seemingly lack of respect on DMOZ's part, but as I continued to read, I noticed how consistent this is a complaint. Judging by that I feel compelled to say, "Stop your whining." Any one who has spent any time here can already know one thing, that explanations for submission refusals are not to be expected. You are beating a dead horse by saying the same thing as the other guy over and over again. You feel rejected, you feel ignored, you feel disrespected... if I were you, I would feel insane. The definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Yes, I think communications here at DMOZ could absolutely be better, but knowing how it is and getting into agreement with the fact it has been extremely poor may be the first step to having it be better. If I am selected as an editor, I will do what it takes to respond to people who submit their site to my category and give them a simple explanation or anyone who has a legitimate question. I won't however respond to badgering, insults or endless complaining, and I can venture to guess that there are others here who agree with me on that.
As an editor, what will you do to improve communication on this project? If you don't have a specific real answer for that why apply to be an editor at all?
Thanks for some of your brain time. Spend some time today enjoying your life. It could end up being <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" /> the best day you have ever had!
