Difference between Sexual Content and Adult Content

I've been told my site can't be included in the NON-adult section http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Chat/Web-Based/Chat_Rooms/ because: "Whilst you have chat rooms intended to attract surfers to talk about sex it belongs in the adult part of the directory."

I have a chat room for adults because grown people do not want to chat with 13 year olds. I explicitly ask people looking for a raunchy chat to go elsewhere.

There are also sites listed in this category which have explicit rooms (I've just reported them in the quality control section with an info graphic.)

Can there be no distinction between kid chat and adult chat? Must I just say everyone is welcome?

limiting acces based on age does not mae a chat (or any other) website adult (in the terms of DMOZ)
see http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/adult/ for more explanation

Your adult chat room says
"This free chat is unlike most adult / sex chat sites .."
that might be very confusing
I would qualify as DMOZ Adult also

I submitted both my sites [urls removed per forum guidelines] to the http://www.dmoz.org/Adult/Computers/Internet/Chats_and_Forums/ category 2 weeks ago. Since then you moved over all the site I reported that were in the clean section and then 2 days ago someone added a couple more sites including 4chan. There is no editor listed, so are sites only being directly added by forum moderators like yourself and submitted sites get ignored until a editor is chosen?

There are very many editors who can edit throughout the directory, so if a category has no listed editor that does not mean it is ignored. As volunteers editors with the wide privileges will edit where their interests lie, so it may take from weeks to months or more until one of these editors decides to edit there.

I implore one of you to edit the http://www.dmoz.org/Adult/Computers/Internet/Chats_and_Forums/ category. I've was trying for months to have one of my sites I thought was clean listed in the clean section but upon advice from forum admins I've listed in the adult directory which has no editor.

You (or anyone else) can not ask editors to work in the areas you want.

The public may suggest sites but we never make any commitment to list all suggested sites.

I understand there is no guarantee my sites are to be listed, I've been a member of the forum since 2006. But since my sites have been around for 15 years, are popular, well designed, and follow all guidelines I assume they will be approved.

You (or anyone else) can not ask editors to work in the areas you want.
But why can't I ask for some attention to the category that interests me? Especially one with no editor that is more likely to languish without such requests. I was not telling/instructing simply asking for help by going through the site suggestions.
I've made several requests to have dead or inappropriate sites removed from related categories and each one was deleted quickly and I was thanked for bringing them to editors attention, so I assumed such a request was within bounds.
