vegas Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 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
jeanmanco Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 #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.

topsy_turvy Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 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?

jeanmanco Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 #1029 - Football Data is in fact listed in http://dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Sports/Software_and_Tools/ It appears that the useful content is available to paying customers. Such sites can be listed at the editor's discretion.
