Government site abuse

 

Dear Masters,

a lovely government URL http://www.ci.las-vegas.nv.us/ listed under dmoz category :

http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Nevada/Localities/L/Las_Vegas/Government/

 

just because government didn't make the payment on time for the domain it has been taken over by travelnice.com and paradisefoundtours.com unfortunately these companies use this highly ranked government page as a advertisement board for their websites.

I have reported to yahoo and yahoo already took care of it, the site doesn't deserve to be listed under government listing. I will also report to google.

I will be happy to see if dmoz remove or move this listing under where it deserves.

I hope this information help.

thank you

#1025 - I am no expert on games and gambling, but am inclined to agree with your view of the two listings you mention. (The first does offer free games, but the affiliate content dominates.) So changes have been made, but will not be visible for a while on the public side.

Hi I noticed this a week or two ago and I couldnt see much information on the software aspect of gambling - This catagory also requires an editor and desperate updating.

 

http://www.dmoz.com/Games/Gambling/Software/

 

has this site listed -

 

'Football Data' http://www.football-data.co.uk - Provides soccer results and match statistics ready for use with spreadsheet applications to help with computer-based betting systems.

 

To me there just seems to be a huge list of affiliate banners, which I regard as very spammy and very little use for people who want help with their gambling! Like me ;)

 

Can somebody take a look at this?

thank you

Double listing with different names but same url

 

The site http://www.translations-english-spanish.com/ is listed in the category http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Communications/Translation/Single_Language/English_and_Spanish/ with the name English Spanish Translations and is listed in the category http://dmoz.org/Business/Business_Services/Communications/Translation/Multiple_Language/North_America/United_States/ with the false name The Bureau of Online Translations.

 

Hope you could get in contact with the editor of the categories and solved, thank you.

I saw other situations like this. Does it help if I publish them here too ? I did it for the first time to see if it works and now I see it works...

I think there is somethin wrong with the forum... I was publishing this as a reply of other post... or I am doing something wrong.

There's nothing wrong with the forum -- I merged your post with this thread as we would like to keep this type of report in this thread.

 

Feel free to report anything else you find. :)
