I haven't heard about this problem yet. If http://dmoz.org/ doesn't work, try http://ch.dmoz.org/ . What category are you trying to submit to?

Could you tell us in which category/categories you tried to submit?

All of the following is unconfirmed, and only based on the reports I have received from one Pakistani editor. It seems that dmoz's IP address is blocked in Pakistan, and that this blocks only the http://dmoz.org/... urls. It is assumed that the block was imposed because someone noticed the Adult section. As Google and many other websites reproduce these pages, including Adult, and they are not blocked, it was quite pointless (there's censorship for you). Pakistani editors are still able to log in using the editor pages which have a different url and IP.
