Humans Don't do it better.

Funny how you keep bringing everything back to your site. The long and short of it is that, if your site is listable, then I'm sure someone will list it eventually. You can write and write until your fingers cramp here and that won't make that happen any more quickly.

Actually my fingers won't cramp and if u remember me mentioning, I myself also have a community based on directories & webmasters and can type quite fast.

Chaos asked me for a suggestion, and I gave him an intelligent logical one.

You can have any editorial procedure that you like, but going by your social contract and your current editorial process,they are at odds of one another.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, you have created a framework where editors can supplement their income.

And that is the prime reason why quality sites tend to get listed as you mentioned.

Not just for my site, but alot of others as well.

As for evidence, I pointed you where to look a few months ago and that should get you in the right direction.

I mean if u created a free editorial process, then obviously there should also be a checks & balances process within as well which secretly monitors the activity of editors.

All I did was look at the pet store and history categories. The user interface presumably isn't as intuitive as I thought it was.

Not to offend you or anything, but I would have to highly disagree with your there.

If you think our user interface isn't intuitive then u probably must feel like your in a desert when traversing business.com

I mean you must have dmoz on the back of your head and I think our interface is alot more intutive & easy to understand then dmoz.

That one is new for me, and I will surely put it up as a discussion and see what other people have to say about our interface, how useful, browsable, navigable and intuitive it is.

There *are* checks and balances and editors are removed when they are discovered to have abused their privileges or coached if they are having trouble editing. But ensuring that suggested sites are reviewed quickly is not a part of that process, nor should it be.

Actually, all you did was tell us to compare sites already in the category to yours. If you'd really wanted to be a help, you would have gone to our QA forum and posted the URLs of the sites you think aren't listable.

In any case, you are still really just trying to discuss your site here, despite us telling you that we don't discuss specific cases here. Granted, some editors have encouraged you by talking about your site themselves, but that is water under the bridge.

This thread has more than run its course and, unless you have comments to make that are not related to your site, there's little point in it remaining open.

If u recall, i posted a few urls listed in dmoz which were under construction. And later on you removed those urls. I would say that was beyond my site.

I don't care you can close it. Doesn't mean it can't be referenced or linked to, and the readers can make up their own mind. I mean I might have talked about my site, but the essence concerns dmoz as a whole and I have tried to address the major issues which you have and have given you concrete examples and suggestions.

I agree this discussion has run its course. You have expressed your opinions and been given responses. Best of luck with your project.
