Why is site removed?

My site, (URL not allowed) , is listed on (category irrelevant), in last year; but now I check it & it's removed out DMOZ


Can you tell me the reason? And I re-suggested it about 2 months ago, is it appllied? And when?


Thank you very much

I found your website has viruses.You can check it.

There are several possible reasons why a site can be removed.
The latest post on the DMOZ blog, Why are sites sometimes removed from the directory?, is about this subject.

@sunfeye: what's your antivirus? Can you tell me the virus your AV alert?

Thanks to pvgool & hutcheson.

@hutcheson: "category irrelevant" is the reason my site removed?

The third scenario is that the site was originally listed in error – either as the result of a mistake, an editor's misunderstanding of the listing guidelines, or abuse – and should not have been listed in the directory in the first place

And I re-suggested 2 months ago, at this category irrelevant as you say; now I have to suggest to new category?

Looking forward you & different editors

Thank

No. I am not hutcheson, but I (sometimes) understand what he means: "irrelevant" means that since we don't discuss specific websites here, which category you suggested the site to doesn't matter for the discussion. It was not a comment on whether your site was relevant for the category or not.

If your site was removed from the category it was listed in because it was not relevant for the category (and remember that I don't know if that is the case or not), but still listable in the directory, it was moved to a more appropriate category by the editor who re-reviewed it in the first category. If that editor doesn't have editing rights in the second category, the site will wait there until an editor who can edit there comes along. This means that there is no need for you to suggest the site again.

When I open your website in China,I foud it has viruses. Maybe the reason is not why a site can be removed.But I thank everyone do not want to see the viruses,when he open a site. Of course, Why are sites sometimes removed from the directory? is very important.

thanks to @nea; but as I said, I made the re-suggestion about >3 months (because I didn't know when my site removed)

...more appropriate category by the editor who re-reviewed it in the first category. If that editor doesn't have editing rights in the second category, the site will wait there until an editor who can edit there comes along...

this thing means I (and others) can not when site listed? All everything are depended on editors?

Correct. Noone knows when a site will be listed. Not even the DMOZ editors do have that knowledge.

And the second part is also correct. All volunteer work depends on the people who volunteer to do the work.
