Report Hijacks, Dead Links, Inappropriate DMOZ Content, and other issues here ONLY

Double Listin

http://www.beautyschools.com/ and http://www.beautyschool.com/

are both listed back to back in this category and appear to be the same site.
http://dmoz.org/Health/Beauty/Schools/

You're right. Thanks.

I suppose we list dealinks here too? name sort of implies it, so here goes:
http://dmoz.org/Arts/Television/Programs/Reality-Based/Talent_Shows/America%27s_Next_Top_Model/
lists: Giselle Samson - One Model Place's portfolio on the model from "America's Next Topmodel." This is a dead link.

Also do you guys surf www.clickmojo.com? because people can buy dmoz listed sites and set up a site that is miscategorized just because it is listed in dmoz. We know the benefits of being in dmoz, and we also know sometimes how hard it is to get listed, so I can see why buying one could help you, but it is also a little devious.

Thanks - that listing is gone. It's definitely the kind of thing we want reported!

Re: clickmojo - more than a little devious. People who buy those domains thinking they'll get a quick ODP listing are fooling themselves, though.

Re: Message 526

Re: Message 526
Items 1 and 8 in regards to dead links.....these links are back up again.
Items 2 - 7 are still in question.
Should now be "6 bad ones in Science: Technology: Electronics: Design: PCB Design

My friend that was the girl in question there had submitted her personal site to that category too, her name is in my siggy here, how hard would it be to flip the switch to get her personal site listed if it takes 2 seconds to delete a broken link ? http://dmoz.org/Arts/Television/Programs/Reality-Based/Talent_Shows/America%27s_Next_Top_Model/ she should be pending.

Much harder and much longer than deleting a site and not nearly as important to the integrity of the directory.

Category listing issues

Hello,

First of all, I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post these issues. Feel free to smack me upside the head (virtually speaking), if I am in error.

This post is regarding the following category:

http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Hardware/Technical_Evaluations_and_Product_Reviews/

I have been watching this category for a few years as I have a site which I feel would be a good fit. But this is not regarding my site - I have noticed a few things which I would like to see resolved to maintain the integrity of the category:

1. http://www.awaremag.com is displayed as "Aware Magagazine"

2. http://www.cdrwcentral.com no longer exists.

3. http://www.computingpros.com is locked

4. http://www.2fastcpu.com forwards to a commercial site with no technical evaluations

5. http://www.klhardware.com links to a commercial site with no technical evaluations

6. http://www.ocaddiction.com no longer exists. It was bought out by Developer Shed Network, absorbed into BigHardware.com, and then transitioned to DevHardware.com


This is by no means a comprehensive list, just a few that have stuck out to me. I attempted to apply as an editor, yet it appears applications are not being accepted for this category. This only concerns me because the category seems as though it is not being moderated. No offense meant by this, I swear! But, I value DMOZ as a resource with integrity, and it bothers me to see my favorite category "suffering".

Thank you for your attention and understanding, and thanks for a great resource.

Thanks for letting us know about this forum !
It's a good way to keep our index clean, as our spider is not able to filter all
suspisious sites automatically.

550 and 552 are done.

correction on www.hunterdouglas.com listing

I submitted a request for a correction via the ODP site awhile ago. Nothing's happening (I know editors are super busy) but am adding the same request here. It would be wonderful, very impressive to our client Hunter Douglas, if we could show results on this.

The word "facade" needs to be taken out of the description and replaced by something like "window shades" which actually is different from "window shadings." They don't make facades, don't know what they are, and the word does not appear on their site.

Thanks!

It would help to say that it was http://www.hunterdouglas.com/ and the error is repeated in two categories - but I read your mind

questionable links in http://dmoz.org/World/Czech/Kultura/Celebrity/

Dear DMOZ,

I found several links in http://dmoz.org/World/Czech/Kultura/Celebrity/
questionable:

http://www.sweb.cz/angjolie/
contains only topless photos linking
to http://mrskin.nudesonline.com/

http://jenifer.aniston.szm.sk/
contains only photos with questionable copyright and link to porn directory
http://www.pornofotky.cz/in.php3?id=jenifer
(on 2nd page http://jenifer.aniston.szm.sk/galer1.html)
The only "Czech" content on this site are banners of Czech porn sites.

http://www.webhouse.cz/donutil/
contain only photos with no copyright info, no info about author etc.
I guess link to official site of Mr. Donutil www.donutil.cz would be more appropriate.

http://www.brodsky.cz/
Mr. Brodsky was a TOP actor, unfortunately the site is "Coming soon"
for more than a year.

http://johny-angie.mysteria.cz/
was moved to
http://www.angelinajolie.cz/

Regards

Jan Suchy

P.S. I submitted for the second time (5 month delay) my site http://www.vejvodova.com/. Then I found out the time period
for re-submission increased from 1M to 6M. Please don't ban me

www.entertainment-jobs.com is also www.entertainmentcareers.net then there are www.auditiontoday.com and www.CHANGESINTERIOR.COM as well as 15 others I can't immediately get off whois.sc. if you want to black list further listings for those mirrored domains

in http://www.whois.sc/dmoz/Business/Arts_and_Entertainment/Employment/

Oops Sorry. I thought putting the URL in the subject line would be enough. And I actually didn't know about the 2 categories. I'm very impressed by the 25 minute reply time.
