Thank you for closing my previous thread.
Onestopcaradvice has currently no legal action to bring towards the owners.
So therefore i am requesting a "subject Access Request" from you about him and his web site.
This should then inform me as why this site was removed, and also as you have said that you will not under no circumstances re list, will give full reasons for this.
I would like to information sent through to me. Would the correct person contact me on this matter.

You cannot make a Subject Access Request against dmoz.org or resource-zone.com, as they are not located in the United Kingdom.

This forum is, in any case, the wrong means of communication when you have a formal complaint to make. You can contact ODP Staff by using http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi . Be advised that you are not likely to receive any more explanation than has already been given (quite exhaustively) ; the Suggest a Site page states that

[. . .] a site's placement in the directory is subject to change or deletion at any time at our sole discretion.

and when your client submitted his site he also agreed to the Submission Agreement, quoted here in full:

Submission Agreement
In exchange for ODP's consideration of the site I am submitting, I agree

* To be bound by the ODP's Terms of Use.
* To waive any claim related to the inclusion, placement, exclusion, or removal of this or any other site in the ODP Directory or to the title or description of any site appearing in the ODP Directory; and
* To grant Netscape Communications Corporation a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, publish, copy, edit, modify, or create derivative works from my submission.

I also acknowledge that Netscape and the ODP have unfettered editorial discretion to determine the structure and content of the
directory and that, because a site's placement in the directory is subject to change or deletion at any time, I may not rely on any aspect of a site's inclusion in the directory. (i.e. "submission" means the title and descriptive information you supply for your site, not the actual website or its contents).

Still, any further communication with the ODP should be to Staff rather than via this forum, as you are making the kind of requests that are not possible for the volunteer editors to respond to.

In the interest of adhering to the Forum Guidelines ("If your site has been rejected, please keep in mind that arguing about the editorial decision will not be tolerated." and "This forum is not intended for site analysis or spam accusations. Please avoid discussing any aspect of the site except its submission status."), I am locking this thread.

Thank you
