Is my website qulify for the DMOZ standard?

Is that what you did, Q?

OK so there is something else that people can do, perhaps with your vast editing experience and even vaster knowledge of ODP you might like to correct your statement.

 

What are you talking about? Is something in my post wrong, or are you just trolling? My site is NOT in DMOZ because I listed it, so maybe you might like to correct your statement?

Or am I reading too much into your post. You are an editor, enlighten the masses as to what people can do other then to have a good site and submitting it... Unique content? Yeah, well, that should fall under being the best, as plagiarism certainly falls under second best

So again, what are you going on about, other then maybe trolling. Maybe stand up and be a man, stop hiding and posting Anonymously

 

By your own admission this is an incorrect statement. Read your own second post again.

Here is a clue, you look as though you have not got one. Your site was listred fast because you became an editor and listed it and then left. So there is a way that one can get one's site listed quickly, become an editor, the more editors we have the more sites get listed, especially editors who stay to list more than a handful of sites.

But perhaps you don't feel that it is right for some one who thinks so badly of the directory, with so many sites listed that should not be, to recomend your tried and trusted route for faster listings.

Have a good Christmas, Q.

 

You are right, I am wrong, the other way into the ODP is to list yourself. Thank you for correcting me But is that the best way, or the right way? You seem to have issues with the fact I originally listed my own site.. but then again, you have no issues with Skrenta listing 10,000++ of his own deep links, so it's no wonder you flipflop on such an issue.

I get slack from editors when I say that it's a good thing to list your own site. I get slack when I don't mention it. What gives?

I get slack when I say that RZ is not an official site, and I get slack when I use it as a reference. What gives?

I think it may be because you simply don't like me rather then actually trying to be helpful. After all, if you were here to actually be helpful you could have just said the other way, then dragging it out over several posts...

 

Nothing gives.
It is indeed helpful to use RZ as a reference, because it is the closest thing to an "official" ODP forum, apart from the Staff Blog (and its embarrassingly unmoderated comments)`.

RZ makes no claims to be "official", and in fact says so quite clearly:

So your efforts in directing people to that resource are appreciated, and I doubt that anyone would cast aspersions on such a helpful contribution to the general understanding of ODP/DMOZ.

 

I'm actually referring to a post where I pointed a member to that site to get them to check on their application status (as you have done in times past) only to get Anonymously to say that such a site was not official, even though that is the ONLY way to check on the status... so it's officialness in that instance was rather moot, as it was (and is) the ONLY way...

that's what I thought till I got slack for it...

In many of my posts I do try to be helpful, and in many of those posts I am followed by editors to cut me down.

Heh, in one instance I told someone to follow the guidelines and examples of other sites to get a listing within a category and was told that my advice was shady... shady advice = following the guidelines? Only to a nameless editor trying to make me look bad, lol. Their reasoning was that I didn't mention original content, which IS in the guidelines *boggle* but still, they would not back down on my advice being shady.

I'd simply give up trying to be nice, but it can be a lot of fun bickering with known editors when they are here saying that RZ should not be used as a resource or that following the guidelines is something that seemingly should not be done.

 

Hmm. Well I have the same experience with non-editors here, so maybe that's just the way DP operates ... which is not very helpful for anyone.

 

It depends how much you want to pay or if you know any editor personally. The going rate for a listing is about $100, it was going down to about 40-50 but DMOZ senior editors worked hard to push it up again.
