important new issue

under the loose diamond search in directory, you have gone and sub-categorised diamonds as diamonds and ideal diamonds as shown in link below.

Who recognises what represents an Ideal Diamond? the icon of the jewelry and diamond industry, GIA ( Gemological Institute Of America) does not categorise Ideal diamonds seprately, and will never reflect on any diamond report or certificate that a said diamond is ideal.
this was a term used by the AGS lab out of Las Vegas, and they to are retracing their words and statements about what constitutes an ideal diamond today.
additionally, several other diamond labs as well as manufacturers have all gone and made their own interpretation of what stands for ideal (read, NO GIA) hence by categorising Ideal seprately, you risk a large diservice to the consumer who may be misled to believe that only the companies who appeared under that listing (magically?) are selling "Ideal" diamonds.
technically as there is no standard set by the FTC on what represents an Ideal Diamond, on what basis is DMOZ creating this category, and who polices,who is in or out of this new category?
I am a Graduate Gemologist as well as a certified gemologist, and I feel that loose diamonds categorised under recognised categories as in color,clarity and especially shapes is much more defined and an easier tool to any search vesus an abstract category as "ideal".

You may well have a valid point here. I shall look into it.

For the future, and especially for others who want to report a potential miscategorization, I'd like to point out that you took a pretty big risk here by overstating your case. I almost decided not to look further when I learned that the AGS is still using the phrase "Ideal cut" on their web site.

I wish you'd given this thread a descriptive title instead of just indicating how important it was to you. It took me a while to find it again.

Anyway, the late unlamented Ideal_Cut subcategory is no longer with us.

And thank you! It's always appreciated when someone points out ways we can improve for the benefit of our users.

Hey... kalherc had a totally valid point! Thanks for fixing a potentially misleading category!

I agree with kalherc, Ideal Cut as a category?

Thanks kalherc, now no more Ideal Cut as a category. Thanks dmoz....

Important or not, it's an ex-issue.
