Registering a Ticket "Reseller" Site

(I'm not sure if my last post went through, so I apologize if this is a duplicate...)

Recently, I tried posting [url removed] on DMOZ, and was unsuccessful at my attempt. Similar to Stubhub, we are a ticket broker that sells premium event seating that sells to tickets to events that are either sold out or hard-to-find. DMOZ's policy on ticket "resellers" reads as follows...

Please do not submit affiliate and reseller sites. We will not accept sites that are resellers of other sites selling the same tickets (e.g. Eventinventory.com, Brokertix.com, Razorgator.com, TicketsNow.com, TicketsUS.com, etc.) Sites that exist solely to drive traffic to another site's central ordering system for the purpose of commission sales are considered mirror sites, and the ODP does not list these sites. Thanks for your cooperation.

That being said, the following is a direct copy/paste from Stubhub's homepage, which calls itself a "third party" ticket seller. Rather than calling itself a "reseller", Stubhub conveniently sidesteps this by stating that they are not the actual ticket seller, or source of the ticket.

You are buying tickets from a third party; neither StubHub.com nor StubHub, Inc. is the ticket seller. Ticket prices are set by the seller and may differ from face value. ALL SALES AND BIDS ARE FINAL. No refunds, transaction cancellations or exchanges will be issued for date/time changes or partial performances. Cancelled events will be handled on a case by case basis. All prices listed are in US dollars.

Isn't this just semantics here? Following the same logic, how can I get [url removed] registered with DMOZ? Should DMOZ be making exceptions to their own rule for other ticket resellers on the internet?

First, you can't "post" a site to dmoz.org; what you do is suggest to the editor(s) working in that part of the directory that a particular site might be worth including there. The editors will look at your suggestion but there is no way of knowing when they will do so. Site suggestions are only one way of finding sites to list, and it is never possible to know when somebody will choose to edit in a particular category anyway. It can be several years before a specific site suggestion is reviewed, or it can happen within a few days; for most suggestions, it's somewhere between those points.

Second, that a particular site is listed that does not appear to be the kind of site that we list does not necessarily mean that an exception has been made. Maybe the site has been listed for a long time and the content on it has changed. Maybe the inclusion criteria have changed since it was listed, and nobody has so far noticed that that particular site don't meet the criteria. Maybe it was listed in error. Or maybe it isn't in fact among the types of sites we don't list.

In any case, and third, if one site is listed that shouldn't be, that doesn't imply that we should start listing other sites that go against the criteria for what is listed. (Note that I do not know whether your site does or not. It will be up to the reviewing editor(s).)

Finally, the question the editors need to ask concerning each site is whether it will add any value for the directory's users. A reseller of the exact same tickets that can be found on sites already listed in the directory will obviously not be useful.
