Hi,
I noticed a competitor of ours be listed in numerous categories (5), when at most they could be listed in the main category and then the category for their blog.
They are being listed in categories having to do with different products they sell, and from reading http://www.dmoz.org/help/cats.html - "For example, if you have a site selling tickets for concerts, football games, and amusement parks, the site would not be placed in all three categories." this is not allowed, but it is what is happening. And some of their descriptions talk about fast shipping and large inventory, which seem to be more marketing-like descriptions than something that belongs in DMOZ.
The other issue is with one of the editors, whom I asked about being listed in the main category (which my site is all about), and he responded saying it was denied because I was already listed in a regional category. I thought by reading http://www.dmoz.org/help/cats.html - "If your site is focused on a specific regional area, you may submit your site to both a subject category, and a category in the Regional branch." that if you have a local business you could also be listed in a subject category as long as you sell online.
Can you give me some advice on this as I have been trying to get into this category for over 3 years.
Thank you
