Websites can get delisted for a number of reasons. Amongst them:

 

- website was not available during a period of time -> the website is moved from public view for an editor to look at the issue

- the content of the website changed and does not meat our guidelines anymore -> it is removed

- the content has changed but still is listable only not in the old category -> the site is moved to a new category and will be reviewed there by an editor

I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.

If you've suggested the site, then you have given the editors all the help you can give.

 

Next time an editor is working in that neighborhood, your help will be available for them to use, and they'll make of it what they can. And if the suggestion is a good one, THAT will help the SURFERS. Which is what we're here to do.

If you've suggested the site, you've given us all the information we use when deciding what sites to review first. No additional information would be helpful, and it really wouldn't be fair to other websites to take other information into consideration.

See my previous answer for possible reasons why a website might get unlisted and what will happen in these cases.

Such statements always tell me more about the person complaining than about the people being accused.

Don't think that while you would behave in such a dishonest way other people will do the same.

Wow, what a way to jump on the poor guy for expressing his concerns about possible abuse of editing power within Dmoz. If I go out and buy locks for my house, does that make me a burglar?

 

To paraphrase your own statement, when a number of folks are expressing their concerns about possible abuse and are immediately met with responses like this, it tends to tell more about the person responding in this way than the people expressing their concerns.

 

Perhaps you were just having a bad day but that's really pretty sad.

 

My two cents,

I have to agree with pvgool on this one. Sure, competition can and may sometimes delist others (it's human nature to protect your own, I guess). But then again, it's easy to make statements like this and accuse others of such behaviour without having to support such statements. If you think about it, some categories would then have 2-3 listings that the editors own / run and the rest would get kicked out. That's not what I've been seeing on DMOZ, though.

No

 

But if you go out and accuse everybody in the neighborhood of being a burglar -- that DOES make you a slanderer.

 

But you've done worse, you've accused everyone in the neighborhood of being a burglar, even when YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A BURGLARY, simply because you believe your house MIGHT BE BURGLARABLE.

 

If you have evidence of actual abuse -- not speculation about potential abuse! -- we'd like to hear it. If you have, for instance, a pattern of listable sites which "compete" with some particular site removed -- then, by all means, say something. You won't have to go around slandering everyone. In fact, if you have evidence, you don't need to accuse ANYONE. Just give the evidence.

 

You'd be amazed how much better "actual evidence" is received, than slander based on uninformed speculation about "potential" actions.

 

Go find the pattern. Until you have the pattern, you cannot possibly know anything. One site is not a pattern. How stupid would it be, for a dishonest editor to let a dozen or three competitors in, then remove just one single competitor! What a waste of a dishonest life!

Did you not understand my reply of a few weeks ago?

 

You might have misunderstood our objectives and how we operate here. ODP is a volunteer organisation building a directory as a hobby. Editors edit where they wish, when they wish and as much as they wish within the constraints of their permissions. We have no schedules or systems to force people to do work that they don't volunteer to do. ODP is not primarily a free listing service for website owners and it does not attempt to process their listing suggestions within the time scales desired by them.

 

Some volunteer will process your listing suggestion in time but we can't predict who or when that might be. Elapsed times can range from a few days to a few years. There is no need to re-suggest your website and doing so could be counter-productive because a later suggestion overwrites any earlier one.

 

Now please, stop expecting/demanding special treatment because it's unlikely to be productive.
