One possibility is described by the Submittal Policies, but you may have forgotten about it. Go back and read what may happen if you suggest "related sites."

Other possibilities are described in this forum's FAQ. (By the way, you should review its Terms of Service (TOS) also.)

Dmoz always accept optimized submission

It is hard to get listing if your submission does not follow the DMOZ faq.

Er no, sorry. This is completely wrong, but perhaps there is a translation problem.
No "submission" is guaranteed to be accepted, because suggested sites are no more than one resource editors can use if they feel like it, and the SEO features are completely irrelevant anyway.

We aim to build a directory of sites with sufficient unique content to be of value to our users (the web surfers). The design of a site is immaterial as long as it can be viewed by the average surfer, and we are absolutely NOT interested in how "optimized" the site is (whatever that may mean).

The characteristics that do matter can easily be read in the public documentation here: "Site Selection Criteria".
That is the guide that all editors use when looking for sites to add, whether they are reviewing suggestions made by other people or whether they are finding sites in any number of other ways.

I beg to differ, slightly. Some things are worse than "completely wrong", and this statement is a good example.

It is EXTREMELY EASY to get an ODP listing WITHOUT ANY KIND OF SUBMISSION AT ALL, OPTIMIZED OR PESSIMIZED. And in fact, millions of sites have done it.

Because it's not submissions that get listings. It's "websites". So as soon as you start thinking about some connection--ANY kind of connection at all--between "submissions" and "listings", you're completely cut off from reality, and the difference between "right" or "wrong" is as meaningless as any other aspect of reality.

Eligible websites get listed ... sooner or later or much much later. Suggestions are a way to help the website listing happen SOONER. But they shouldn't ever make any website get listed, that couldn't have gotten listed on its own--eventually.

And "sooner" is relative or probabilistic, since all ODP work is completely asynchronous (that is, the system is designed for work to happen in any order and at any speed.)

I can attest to that. Of all the sites I've added since becoming an editor, MAYBE 10% of them were submitted ... by ANYBODY. And a good portion of those that were submitted to my category were submitted (transferred?) by another editor.

The other 90%+ I found myself, usually by just surfing.

Maybe here's a comparison that shows how unrealistic the submission/listing notion is.

"I've been nominated (by myself, as it happens) for a Nobel Prize, in every single category, every year since 1911. How is it that people who weren't even BORN in 1911 are getting prizes every year, and I haven't got a single one yet?"

Granted, the ODP's standards are a bit lower than the Prize Committee's. But the principle and fundamental process are _exactly_ the same: what gets a prize (or a listing) is the accomplishment having been noticed, not the nomination. And the nomination is merely an aid to help the Committee keep from overlooking any eligible accomplishments.

Considering they gave an environmental prize to Al Gore, I'd like to think ours are a bit higher.

You should have read their guidelines

Nominate a person only ONCE to the ONE best category.

If a standard is so low you can't see under it, can it really be a standard?

Could we please try to avoid derailing someone's thread by going off on a little side trip like that? I'm sure there are places you can go to have lovely discussions about the merits and failings of the Nobel Prize Committee -- this really isn't one of them.

Thanks muchly.
