i try to apply,but dump without any reason or Comments?

I think it is very unfair.

 

Here is the message they gave me:

 

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Open Directory Project editor.

After careful review, we have decided not to approve your application at

this time. The most common reasons a reviewer will deny a new application

include, but are not limited to,

 

* Incomplete application. Insufficient information has been provided in some

fields including reason, affiliation and/or Sample URLs.

* Improper spelling and grammar.

* Sample URLs are inappropriate for the category which one has applied to

edit. They may be too broad, too narrow, completely out of scope, poor

quality, or in a language inappropriate for the category. All non-English

sites are listed in the World category. Applications for World categories

that include sites only in English will be denied. Likewise, applications

for World categories that include sample URLs in languages other than the one

appropriate for the applied category will be denied.

* Not properly disclosing affiliations with websites that are, or have the

potential of being, listed in the category.

* Titles and descriptions of sample URLs (and other information provided)

were subjective and promotional rather than unbiased and objective. ODP

editors do not rank or write website reviews. ODP editors provide objective

and unbiased descriptions of websites and their content.

* Self-Promotion. Application which leads us to believe that the candidate is

interested primarily in promoting his/her own sites or those with which the

applicant is affiliated. The ODP is not a marketing tool, and should not be

used to circumvent the site submission process. If this is an applicant's

motivation for joining, then we ask him/her not to apply. Editors found to be

inappropriately promoting their own site will be promptly removed.

 

Due to the large number of applications we get every day, we are unable to

provide personal responses to every application or to respond to inquiries

about why you were rejected. If a reviewer chose to provide additional

comments to you, they will be given in the "Reviewer Comments" section below.

 

Your willingness to volunteer is greatly appreciated and perhaps we will be

able to utilize your talent in the future.

 

Regards,

The Open Directory Project

Did you read the message? It explains why there are no reviewer comments - the reason or reasons why your application was reected are already in the message, so why waste time telling you the same thing all over again?

And as you have been told before, posting your URL to various threads is considered spamming. When your ban is lifted, do not post your URL again.

I am just curious, did you apply to become an editor in English or another language?

In the quoted line I found seven grammatical errors, and that just in one line. Seems to me a little bit excessive for an editor-to-be.

It's not only about a site. He was trying to become an editor. Can you imagine?

That problem can only be solved by AOL's operational staff but we need to sort out your email address first.

 

Whilst we usually welcome returning ex editors, we are insistent that they come back under their original identities. That you've forgotten some of your login details or you no longer have access to your original email account are merely stumbling blocks, not show stoppers.

 

Please contact me via http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/send.cgi?toeditor=jimnoble with as much corroborative information as you can such as:-

 

Approximate date joined

Editor name (but not password)

Original email address

Joining category

Additional categories gained

Roughly how many edits done

Approximate date of leaving and the circumstances

 

Convince me that you are who you say you are and I can reset your email address of record to one that works today. This will make it possible for you to request a password reminder and complete a reinstatement request form.

I'd like to point out here that four moderators of this forum read the thread Jim cited above before you edited your posts in it to remove your requests to help reinstate your editor account.

You have edited your posts, so this thread is difficult to understand now.

 

As jimnoble said, you can´t apply for a new account when you already are an editor.
