I have found it and submitted evidence for editor’s review! Nothing in respond, just ignorance.
One website has 39!!! Listing with subdomaines in most cases just with one page!!!
And there is no one in this world that will tell me otherwise: the DMOZ directory is corrupted.
P.S.
I’m sure that this post will be removed asap by one of the editor as well

Money might get you listed (we realize that editor abuse sometimes does happen -- that's why we encourage people to report it when they encounter it), but it will eventually be found out and both editor who accepted money and site whose owner who paid it will be permanently removed.

There are some that have hundreds, if not thousands. IMDB, for example, or Wikipedia have a large number of listings. Multiple listings does not equal abuse.

When did you submit the evidence? If it was since about August of last year, you're welcome to send me a PM here with your evidence -- we are having some problems with our public abuse reporting system since the upgrade. I can't promise you that I will update you on the status or outcome of your report, but I can promise that I will look into it.

You didn’t remove this post – that is huge progress!
It took me few hours to dig old email, but I have found it. I have reported to Volunteer meta/kmeta makrhod back in 11/28/2009. At that time the website had phishing code installed and was blocked from searching by google! Oh well, the site and single page subdomains are still in DMOZ directory……

In your first post youw rote that you had evidence that money could buy you a listing in DMOZ.
If you have prove of such actions please send a feedback to motsa as she wrote in het post.

A website having phising code installed or being blocked by Google is not abuse related to DMOZ. Both are, on their own, no reason for rejection by DMOZ, but they are often good indications that there are other things that could result in a DMOZ rejection.
Such situations can be brought toour attention through the "uodate url" link on DMOZ or through the quality control section on this forum. An editor will do a new review of the site and decide if it is still listable.

If you read it – you would see that I have submited!
I haven’t asked for advice here, just stating the fact! With understanding that millions of websites want to be listed at DMOZ directory (though as years pass it becomes useless), you have a lot of work, but one and half year should be enough to take action. See what happening – you or anyone of editors have plenty of time to defend your privileges and when it comes to real work you are should do – you say: “we have no time! ”

It may well be that after the issue was investigated, no action was necessary so what you see as lack of action is actually a resolved report.

If you're talking about people posting here, time spent here is not time people would have spent editing instead. And I don't know that anyone has ever said they didn't have time to do something editing-related, just that, as volunteers, they edit when and how often they choose.

I have reported to Volunteer meta/kmeta makrhod back in 11/28/2009.
Again, you are welcome to forward the information to me via PM here.

I don't think that sites like Wikipedia could pay editors to have large baclinks from DMOZ directory..
