Does DMOZ genuinly help your search engine ranking

Er that sounds like kettle, you seem to be saying that I do not agree and argue the same or oppose when I disagree. But you have seen me do that in recent posts, perhaps the saying is true that you find out what people think of THEMSELVES when you listen to what they say about others.

I think the truth about you jumping ship was that you disagreed with some issues at DMOZ, the details of which are irrelevant, and you continue to show your dislike for DMOZ on here. But I simply state the fact that before you left you listed your own sites and squealed like a pig when it went 404 and was removed until it came back. What was that about hypocrisy, when after such behaviour you tell others to forget to submit. Me thinks I was right earlier.

My apologies for continuing the derail which Q started earlier.

 

It shows a lot about how the ODP operates from the top down...

You are showing your ignorance once again.

My site was NEVER in 404 status. It was getting an internal server error based on the MYSQL server being down. This would NOT have resulted in a 404... SO you've shown that you not only do not know why I left, but also why my site was removed.

But since you've been so kind to point out that my site WAS removed, I'd like to once again point out that me adding it was PERFECTLY fine, as it was re-added, by another editor, so seemingly it does belong.

You've stated in the past that I should not point to RZ as it is NOT an official ODP forum, yet have pointed to it yourself. That is where some of your hypocrisy comes into play. The rest of it comes into play when you resort to personal attacks against me rather then attacking my posts, and on the rare instances when you attack my posts you rarely if ever have giving anything to back up your claims, while at the same time have tried to call me out on backing up my claims.

Furthermore, look around, I've never changed when it comes to how I've spoken up against certain aspects of the ODP. If you recall correctly there were a handful of posts I made before I was an editor that were brought up after I left (about how I feel that if the webmasters don't like DMOZ they need to all stand up and act as one when issuing complaints).

The ODP has many good points, and I do often point them out. The ODP has many bad points, and I point them out as well. There is no hypocrisy there...

 

Let me get this right....
You did not complain when your site was removed? Is that correct?

You have never made personal attacks on me, especially in trying to deduce my editor name? Is that correct?

If you answer no to either, remember the evidence is on here!

Some interesting deductions here. From a semantic problem about why your sitre was not returning when it was checked you deduce I did not know why you left. You left because you had a spat with DMOZ who would not do what you wanted them to do and so you left. You have since then constantly found ways of twisting what is said here and trying to continually use mish mashed information to discredit DMOZ.

I just illustrated one of the ways that you faced both ways, tell people to forget to submit and whinge when you site is removed, you did after all go through a lengthy acceptance process to become an editor to get it listed. There is nothing wrong with that so why do you complain when I simply state the facts. Is it true that you listed your site and left soon afterwards or is it not true? Simple yes or no will do.

 

Was my site removed due to a 404 error? A simple yes or now will due... The answer is NO, so keep that in mind.

You have told people to submit and forget yourself have you not? You've also stated that editors do not need to use the submission queue (which has a lot more letters then JUST "q" by the way). Is that true? YES or NO are both pretty good answers for that.

You've gotten on to me about sending people to RZ because RZ is not an official ODP resource, yet you've sent people there yourself. Is this correct? Again, a simple YES or NO is a pretty good answer.

You've been banned from Digital Point for flaming and trolling. Is that correct? So it's a TRUTH that you do not care about guidelines yourself. Is that correct? A simply YES will do, unless of course you wish to be considered a LIAR.

Me adding my site had NOTHING to do with leaving the ODP. That is correct!
I got upset when my site was removed for being 404, that is correct, and it's also correct that my site was NOT in 404 when it was removed. Mind twisting my words any more?

 

Your site was unavailable at the time it was unreviewed as SOP.

What's more, I know that you know that because you and I have discussed the matter off-forum.

 

I'm not and have never denied my site was not working. What I'm saying is that it was NEVER (never as in at the time we are talking about) in 404 status. It was giving out an entirely different error, one based on my database being out at the time it was removed. If Anon would say that it was unavailable then I'd have no issue with it. The issue lies in that fact that the reason that is so publicly stated for my sites removal is wrong.

 

OK, so you're just quibbling about the exact mode of unavailability. I doubt if anybody else actually cares about that and it's a sad thing if that's all you have to worry about.

In the context of any other website, you'd have been pleased that a broken website was temporarily removed - wouldn't you?

 

I have one site listen in DMOZ, and I have not seen one benefit from it other than the "status" of being listed.
Never seen any traffic from it, and that site was a PR 4 before it was even accepted so, IMO..it doesn't do anything...I get more traffic from DP.

 

No, I'm quibbling about editors continuously saying that I'm twisting words about yet it's perfectly normal for them to do it. Care to correct any other part of the quote you corrected my 404 about?

Sorry, if it was me saying 404 when it wasn't every editor on this forum would be riding my incorrectness.
