jimnoble Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 You are quite at liberty to organise your website as you wish. Similarly, we are at liberty to decline to list it - and we have. Please do not resuggest it here until it has conventional navigation. Please be aware that doing so would be deliberately wasting our scarce resources. We don't tolerate that.
Mr. J Ferguson Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 Reasons why my Internet Site should be listed in the 'Open Directory Project' Category Regional/Oceania/Australia/Society_and_Culture/Personal_Pages/ Australia - I'm an Australian in Australia. Personal Pages - It's an Internet Site operated and about by myself, and Hosted on my own Computer. There is no Illegal content on my Internet Site, nor is any of it Misleading or Demeaning. If Jonathan-Ferguson.tk is not listed in the 'Open Directory Project' within the next 24 hours, I will have no other option but to pursue this matter with the Equal Opportunity Commission Victoria, Australia and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
Guest gimmster Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Go for it, we will no longer deal with anything you say in this forum. By the way do you recall reading this when you suggested the site 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). I have read and understand the submissions guidelines, and I'm ready to submit my site goodbye :tree:
bobrat Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I believe, that since you have now made that statement, we can neither list your site or continue discussions with you. Further communcation should be directed to legal staff at Netscape Communications Corporation.
ishtar Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Please do not resuggest it here until it has conventional navigation. We list sites with non-conventional navigation, and for jimnoble to imply otherwise is reckless. In fact, we list sites with no navigation at all. We list Flash websites, we list Word documents, Excel documents, and Postscript files. If you had your non-conventional navigation, but linked to quality documents, your site would be listed. What your site lacks is content, and this is why your site will not be listed. You have 2 forum threads copied from some other forum, and 3 zip files that I'm not touching, and I doubt many editors would. If Jonathan-Ferguson.tk is not listed in the 'Open Directory Project' within the next 24 hours, I will have no other option but to pursue this matter with the Equal Opportunity Commission Victoria, Australia and the Australian Competition and Consumer CommissionIs that a legal threat?

That is certainly not a Legal threat, I'm only abiding by the Law.
