Legal contact for DMOZ

[microlinx]

Please let me know how I may contact the legal department for DMOZ.

We need this to resolve a misleading and potentially damaging entry that your

volunteers are either unwilling or unable to update or remove.

Removal would resolve this issue immediately.

What a ridiculous system.

1. Because you have previously stated intention to go legal with your grievance, we mere editors aren't permitted to communicate further with you until the matter has been resolved.

 

2. I also note that you are making remarks disparaging editors. That's against this forum's T&C. They are merely operating within our Guidelines and that you don't agree with them isn't the editors' fault.

 

To remove your temptation to abuse item 1 and to prevent recurrence of item 2, I'm banning you here for 6 months.

If you want a listing to be updated the only thing you can do is to send an update request that

a) is according to DMOZ guidelines - non compliant requests will be rejected

b) is backed up by the website - if the requested change is not visible on the website it will be rejected

 

If you want a listing to be removed you need to take care that the website is either

a) not listable according to DMOZ guidelines

b) not available in the internet

 

In all cases. We do not list, describe or delete websites on request of the owner of that website nor on request of any other person.

The only thing we use for our decissions is the website itself.

 

DMOZ does not have a legal department. You will have to contact AOL Legal. Just do a search with your favorite search engine for "AOL legal department"

And good lcuk. But it won't help you to change the description or the get the website removed. Unless ofcourse DMOZ did something unlawfull.
