Do I resubmit or can I simply get in touch with the last editor?

[I'm assuming you are not asking for the status of a suggestion you made.]
If you wish to resubmit, and are absolutely sure that your site is now very different than before, you should do so yourself.
Contacting an editor to ask for a submission is not the correct thing to do.

1) We don't care about design. Unique content is the only thing we are interested in.
2) Do NOT contact any editor.
If you resubmit you must very cleary state what you changed and why your site could be listed this time.
This can be done in description field.
Description [reason]
But as your site has been rejected several times before you must be very sure your reason is valid. Read the guidlines given on DMOZ about which sites we list and which we never won't list.
Enough Unique Content is the keyword here. If you don't have this on your site please do not suggest another time.
They aren't, editors are just unpaid volunteers with other things in their life. There are a lot of people here wanting a status check and we can't provide personal attention and get through them all, and do what we are editors to do, edit, and ... you get the picture! 
This isn't a regular forum, it is a place for specific questions in specific formats and under specific rules to be asked by those suggesting sites for inclusion, and answered as quickly as possible by editors, again in more or less set formats - most of us have a set of stock answers that we cut and paste as replies. You then go away, monitor the category you suggested to, and return 6 months later if necessary and ask the same question over. Hope that helps.
Not a problem. If you look back you have actually been given some very useful straight talking advice by my fellow editors that should enable you to (a) determine whether to suggest, (b) since the site has been rejected how to make the suggestion in a way that will ensure that when its time for review comes the editor will pay regard to (content) improvements made. And they have made you aware that what we are interested in is not design but high quality unique content and lots of it. I think they deserve your thanks more than I!
I have gotten a lot of friends' and clients' sites into DMOZ in the past 5 years and always neglected my own ... untitl now.
I know I have submitted many times and I feel bad about wasting you guys' time.
I know it is not about the design, and I didn't mean that.
However I am happy my new site is finally up and I like it a lot.
I hope you guys can include me this time. I myself am an editor at JoeAnt (not timeconsuming) and help many people improve their search engine rankings. I forgot what it feels like to be talked to like you're 5 years old just because I didn't say something right.
All I am saying: instead of assuming, it would be more polite to ask instead!

I think that is a very important point. You must alwast build a site in the way you want it to be.SiteTutor said:
In one of the previous post I have given you advice to add extra comment to the suggestion. If you don't the site will probably be rejected based on previous experiences with the site.SiteTutor said:
Sorry, but we will (almost) never contact any person that suggested or owns a site. We purely decide if a site will be listed on the content of the site.SiteTutor said:
