I won't pick the category until you editors think it's ok, and so yes I need a quote before U submit it since I can't check the status if my website would be added or rejected.

Please DMOZ editors tell me if it can be acceptable before I even add it so I won't waste a editors time or my time.

Which category would it suite best in if it is good enough for DMOZ?

if my website isn't good enough could you give me advice on what I need to do to my website/forum before it can be acceptable?

I test the meta tag analyzer and description is almost 90% relevant, keywords are over that and title is 100% relevant.

this is my website: <URL removed> ( I bought the domain and decided to make USWGO run in there, just so you know)

So will this make it into DMOZ or will it be rejected if I submit it?

You can see for yourself whether or not your website is listable by checking it against our guidelines.

In any event, it's not usually the design of a website that prevents it from being listed and we don't give a darn about keyword stuffing/relevance - provided that they don't make the website unusable by humans.

We don't provide such a service. Pick the category you think is the best. If it isn't an editor will move it forward. This happens very often and is no problem.

> since I can't check the status if my website would be added or rejected.
You can already check it now. Just read the guidelines at http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html

> Please DMOZ editors tell me if it can be acceptable before I even add it
Sorry, that would be a review of the site. And that is something we don't do here at R-Z.

> if my website isn't good enough could you give me advice on what I need to do to my website/forum before it can be acceptable?
Websites are either listable or not-listable. Most not-listable sites can not be changed to become listable. Atleast not without chaning the whole concept of such a website. Just be sure to only suggest when the site has enough unique content and isn't under construction.

> I test the meta tag analyzer and description is almost 90% relevant, keywords are over that and title is 100% relevant.
This all is not relevant for DMOZ. We do not look or use meta tags or keywords.

> So will this make it into DMOZ or will it be rejected if I submit it?
We don't know and have no means of telling until we review the website.

Ok I checked the guidelines, I might need verification if I am correct.

I have gone through each guideline and checked it against my site/forum.

Is the site's content/information identical to other sites?

It is a totally unique site and I haver never seen another political coalition forum which has the same content as mine so it is unique under my knowledge.

Does the ODP include the type of site you want to add?

It is not illegal, it does not contain abortion doctors or anything like that. It is totally family friendly and once I set moderators with good traffic and registrations I will keep the entire forum totally under control with the millions of possible users.

Is the site complete?

The site is completed and has been made search engine friendly as much as I can so it shouldn't hurt DMOZ if my site is possibly listed.

Is the site current?

Yes it is a current site and I check it usually daily to manage it and check if there are new users.

Is the site available and does it load completely?

Yes there are no broken images to my knowledge and it does load completely. I have tested this with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Is it easy to assess the site's trustworthiness?

I have put about USWGO but I did not put an address because I have no building where my organization is.

Give me some clarification? Should I put my Instant Messenger usernames, Should I give out my emails? How do I exactly follow this guideline?

Glad to see that you've done the evaluation. That wasn't too hard was it :)?

As to the contact info, it's your website so provide whatever you think is needed by your users without compromising your privacy requirements.

We think that it's generally best to design a website to meet its chosen purpose.

I submited it under http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Politics/Democracy/Direct_Democracy/Local_Direct_Democracy/

Cause really the main subject of my coalition/forum is it's fighting for a direct democracy. So I believe it would make more sense to post it there.

I'm wishing myself luck that is has enough valuable resources and information!

I will make sure while it's in the quere that it has enough valuable information and the page never changes focus so that it stays within the guidelines.
