I have only said that this person is no longer an editor. There are more possibilites: - the person left DMOZ out of his/her own will - the account timedout (no edits done in 4 months) - the person was removed - the person died
Yes (to the first question) - because there are constraints on the type of information that can be released. Yes (to the second question) - honesty is very important, however, being honest does not mean everything must be revealed. The sky is blue - would be a correct statement today. But there are clouds, birds, airplanes, etc in the sky too. This doesn't make "the sky is blue" any less honest.
It is not new. The person who I believe owns this site already posted the link in this thread. Did you read the comments. Most of them are in favor of keeping the categories and listings.
I can respect that you do not want to give out such information but I think you can agree that the previous statement could give an impression that the editor was removed because of this thread and DMOZ editors have taken pro active action. I imagine that you do not want to give DMOZ credit where credit is not due. Therefore for the sake of argument, we can suppose that editor was removed before the discussions regarding the child porn and by an authority higher than editors.
Editors can't answer that question due to confidentiality, and I can't answer it because I never noticed the category when I was an editor. But since the category is still there at last look it is reasonable to surmise that discussions have not concluded. As such I cannot see an editor would be removed as a result of it being highlighted. Therefore either the editor resigned, or he/she was removed before this discussion. The death option as to his/her fate sounds encouraging though.
No, you are agreeing with the editors and are turning into a DMOZ-loving convert. You'll be applying to edit knitting patterns next...
We love DMOZ editors that don't hide their identities, we hate those like CBP that are frauds and hide under fake user names!
I can tell you this person hasn't been a DMOZ editor since October 2002. So there is totaly no relation with the current thread.
Wow so many corrupt DMOZ editors, I just got a site listed in their directory then got deleted a day later...
If you listen to the Dateline NBC show lastnight I believe you would have heard that the common factor that all of those pedophiles had in common was WHAT.....The Internet. So this leads me to believe that if Dmoz is promoting this type of sick behavior and not willing to correct it, what is their AGENDA. The promotion of child porn is not only illegal in the United States but also a moral and ethical issue. Dmoz claims that their directory is forged on the belief of creating a listing of sites that serve public interest, where is the public being served by promoting child porn and creating an enviroment that is only driving the urge of pedophiles. If you have someone who is a recovering alcoholic and you shove a beer in their face, how long till that person relapses. All Dmoz is doing is promoting child porn, you are offering a distribution and resource service for all those wishing to create a lot of this garbage and fueling the fires of those who wish to sexually abuse children. As for Deobfuscator, s/he is not Jim Im the King Noble that much I know. His posting style is nothing like Jim and plus Jim always likes to look up nice big words to use in his post and trys to talk above everyone he speaks to. Deobfuscator as for minstrel as you put it, slinging his same old BS in his post. Unlike you, minstrel is respected here...YOU* ARE NOT. minstrel has a book published...YOU DO NOT....minstrel has a post graduate degree...YOU DO NOT at least this is my opinion from your child like comments. Now let me get childish. Deobfuscator you come across as someone who lives with his mother, sits around in stained fruit of the looms in front of his computer with a bottle of mad dog 20/20 in one hand and the other hand scratching your balls hoping that adsense is going to make you enough money this month to buy that next issue of Biker Girls who spank me. So next time you sling mud at a well respected member here such as minstrel expect to receive it back. Child LIke Comments / Off If Dmoz wants to take the responsiblity of being a directory for the people, Dmoz must conform to the legal / general publics beliefs, one of those beliefs is that anything which promotes child abuse / porn is not acceptable, so therefore if you wish to promote this garbage Dmoz is no better than the pedophiles who use it as a resource to fuel their sick lifestyle and behavior.
Whoop whoop. It's those helicopters again. Nope, not "CBP". Not even close. You don't "love" and ODP editors in any case - you insult every editor who posts here.
So you just happen to capitalize in your posts like Birdie does and use the same propaganda CBP uses on WPW Are you twins by any chance I see both of you are online now.... Do you know CBP ???
It just proves how little you know about me. And frankly, that's the way I like it. "Chickenboner" is the phrase you're looking for. Think what you like. I really don't care. Nice, colorful description though. Yes and no. The ODP should not list sites that are illegal. But equally, the ODP should not conform to so-called "general public beliefs". Typically, the ODP will tend to list neutral, affirmative and opposing sites on a topic. If you look at some of these categories, you'll see that's exactly what has been done. If the sites are illegal, then they should not be listed. Plain and simple. But if they are lawfully expressing a point of view that goes against the "norms" of society, then that in itself is NOT a reason why they should NOT be listed. Remember, all the ODP does is catalog the sites that are already out there. Linking to a site is not an endorsement of the views of that other site. The ODP even has several links to these forums - it does not mean that the ODP endorses them.
So tell us Defraudgulator, what do you think of kids being able to punch in the keyword "porn" and ending up here! ??? http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=616568&postcount=734 or here... http://dmoz.org/Adult/Image_Galleries/Voyeur/Outdoor_Sex/Free/ Still can't identify yourself big shot
So you are saying that Dmoz is just like the poppy growers in Asia and Colombia. You only grow the product but cant be responsible for its distribution. You talk about slinging out BS Deobfuscator, that is the biggest form of BS there is. One link MAYBE, several links tells me you endorse this type of material. What is it Google says, A link is a vote / endorsement of your site. I think that about sums it up.
