[kbor]

Hidden text on websites really irritates me. Is it reason for exclusion?

If so check this site out -

Hidden text is important for search engines. DMOZ is a directory.

Sites may be removed because of hidden text/links. Each site will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

What is your point? Can't understand wether you're "for" or "against".

If the surfer can't see the hidden text, what is the problem? Keywords are important for search engines but in a directory the most important is a fair description.

That information may no longer be true. I believe that under some circumstances, hidden text, if found, and not applicable to the site, could cause rejection. There is no general rule on this.

As stated earlier in the thread. Hidden text and hidden links on a site are handled on a case by case basis. The statement that we used to make about we don't care what the users cannot see because we are a directory is not always true anymore. Times have changed and so have we.
