Is this a scam or what ? I am so sad now :(

Ok this may seem rude to all the honest editors out there, but it seems to me that DMOZ editing is just a scam and has become a "click" where friends helpfriends.

Reason i say this is this category :
[deleted]

All the sites listed here are owned by the one and same owner, you know, actually my listed sites was REMOVED ! And for no good reason, my listed sites provide much more content for the users compared to those sites listed there, they are only sites for search engines

Is it anywhere i can report this behaviour ?

its all useless

same here dude. well i was trying to get my website listed twice in Dmoz but to no avail. i have one editor for my region and i dont know whats wrong with him. and some of websites listed there doesnt even belong there and on what scale were they published i dont know.

Yes, best place it on DMOZ. If you suspect editor abuse and have some kind of prove report it through the link at the top of that categorie called "Report abuse/spam". One of the higher ranked editors will investigate.

PS please remove the link to the adult category (adult may only be discussed in a special part of RZ for which you need a special password)

How do i get access to :Adult section ?

I just sent you the password for the Adult forum via private message.

But we won't want the specific category named there either. Please use the abuse report link near the upper right corner of the category page. We take such reports seriously and investigate them vigorously.

Thanks.

Already reported it so will be interesting to see if anything happens.

my-site-was-deleted-because-the-editor-is-corrupt

I don't know the details of you particular case (indeed, I don't even know the category). But there have been previous my-site-was-deleted-because-the-editor-is-corrupt type of complaints, and in more than a few cases it turned out that the editor was innocent and the site appropriately removed.

If this case is another of that type, don't start ranting and raving and complaining more, as too many do (signalling their guilt whilst doing so).

And don't blame me: I'm not even an editor.

sycamore, can you give the link to the post in our abuse forum where you specified the inappropriate links, so we can see what response there was?

mikkemus · Mar 13, 2006

Hey i posted the links in adult forum http://resource-zone.com/forum/showthread.php?p=210980#post210980

brmehlman · Mar 13, 2006

And I deleted it.

Hutcheson was asking about the links sycamore claimed to have posted.

We got all the information we needed about yours from your abuse report, for which we thank you kindly.

a big organization like ODP may have some problems like this here and there.
but we cant blame the entire ODP for it.
it is wise to contact it in such cases
