Editor adds his own site but what about sites like mine and other sites that added their links before him? I was there as dmoz started in the late 90s and over time things have degraded. It's hard to be an editor...you have your own life work and then you need to contribute some of your time to add/decline new sites to a category. I understand it's hard...that's why some editors ignore a category for years. In my opinion, if an editor does not do work for 6 months they should be dropped.
That's not my issue though...my issue is when a competitor signs up for a category and adds his own site ahead of others. I added my site with no promotional language, keyword stuffing or explanation marks long ago. I posted to the right category. I waited patiently. Then comes a guy who becomes editor - keyword stuffs and adds his own site and to boot puts in an explanation mark even though no one else has this in their descriptions.
As soon as I complain to editor about his link he then covers his tracks and takes down the explanation mark. My site is still not approved but my theory - no proof is he finally added other competitive links but out of spite - my theory - he still does not add mine. Again, I make no accusations - I can only theorize - I could be totally wrong but my opinion is this is absolutely not fair and goes against everything the original dmoz stands for.
Could a high editor look into this possible problem? There must be log files that proves my theories.

In an unrelated category I added another demographics site link - my site is professional and quite unique. The site looks good and for several years, there is still no link while one of my competitors has 10 plus links.
