Are Dmoz Editors Credible? Is there any Transparency in Dmoz?

Despite assuring several times that i don't want to upset any one or stir anything you still think i am trolling. I just want this chapter to end and request mods to delete this thread PLEASE and sorry to all those who got offended.

 

I do not know. People are people. Some with good intent some who just dont care.

 

I agree with you, this thread has reached to an end. But I don't think it has to be deleted. A closed thread would be just fine.

 

No sense deleting the thread, the Op posted a valid concern and a question. Some of the posts may not have been very helpful, but the initial question was genuine.

 

Point me to where I asked for the URL, please? And I will learn no more from a report to DMOZ because I don't see those, as I have already said.

I have no interest in the persons identity, I am concerned on two counts, the first that someone seems to have a grievance and we have given reasonable assurances to enable them to make a report and secondly that people who always put the worst spin on matters DMOZ or who take things out of context, will as Snooks says try and twist this thread into some sort of proof that DMOZ is corrupt.

Jin, I do not believe that you are spamming, but please clear the matter up and ask what happened about the deletion.

 

peoples who are take things out of context can be counted like Jim Noble also ? or he's too '' hard '' and you can get yourself on some troubles? when did you saw from Jim on this forum a reply like '' per se '' ? only few words quoted from peoples posts and hes usual '' stuff'' pasted like a machine . Do you try to do same like him ?? Snooks it's keep crying around hes not corrupt and he need proofs lol , SPAM is on the directory what proofs you need guys more ? who added it ? who allow to add it ? with one decent person can't make a decent community ! never like never will can make a spring with one flower
Do you need proofs DMOZ editors are corrupt ? well ... few months ago I reported one url on RZ forum a parked domain ! okay ... a week ago I`ve posted this post how's come a slashdot org story about an NOT EXISTENT site can be '' useful '' for directory visitors ? ? WHAT CAN BE THE DAMN IT USEFUL FROM THAT ? like this two examples I have more , loads of other urls on the directory , I`ve wrote about them loads of time on this forum before I got banned because of infractions witch I got and with sure I`ll get also on the future , just because I`m not reporting those links to have them deleted ? lol ... let me tell you and anyone who pretend to be '' correct and not corrupt editor '' THE SPAM IT'S on the directory , and somewhere something it's fishy ! somewhere and someone added those spam sites , what for good shake to report those spam ? to have deleted the links ? c'mon .... next day other links will be added , the problem it's not here on deleting the crap listing from the directory ... the problem it's with the editors who added them , the metas and seniors who added those editors and so on . HERE it's the problem !

I don't give a damn about the dmoz directory , fortunately for me If I need serp traffic I can get it far away easy , and more profitable than trying to '' suggest '' my urls to the directory . Only reason for what I`m keep visiting this part of the forum , it's to see how much time and how much you guys trying to defend a know fact by thousand of peoples lol .... I love Jim's replies , I simply enjoy Rob's replies also and yours and snooks ones missing makrhod posts too , what's funny on all those posts ? the hypocrisy ! trying to defeat an easy to see damn it thing what everyone can see it if have more than 2 cell brains alive , THE DAMN SPAM LINK FROM THE DIRECTORY . What ... it's not your or other one category where the spam it's here ? c'mon .... always it's someone with more '' extended '' editorial powers like yours ! and I`m sure if you are see a spam url and will report it will be deleted ... WHERE's the point to delete those picked up urls reported ? just to have a free place where to be added other ones?

SPAM that's the problem with the directory , and corruption of the editors that means ! Not refer to one single person , at the end of the day if someone wanna blame one single person that MUST be the highest ranked editor because that one it's the one who was supposed to watch and train other not so experienced editors who maybe can make mistakes .

Thanks for your lovely infractions witch I`ll most probably get after this post again . Hope to see you on front of my truck at 100km/h

 

i added my website in dmoz
and now its more than 6 months...
y they are not adding my website...
i dont know their transparency...
on what criteria they add websites...
why they cant be transparent and tell ppl reason for not adding website
if google can add everyone url
than y dmoz dont accept everyone url

 

Google directory is a copy of DMOZ, so they just take the information from us.

Google have people paid to look after their gadgets and lists, DMOZ editors are volunteers and unpaid, doing it in their spare time as a hobby. How do you spend you spare time, working for nothing?

Apart from that DMOZ is NOT a listing service for webmasters. We do not undertake to review any submissions in a timely manner, can take from a few days to a few weeks for a site to be reviewed for a possible listing. That is because suggestions are just that, suggestions. It is when someone has found a site helpful that meets our criteria and want to suggest it so that others can benefit. Unfortunately many categories are swamped with spam. that's why we don't tell people if their site is rejected or if it still sits in the suggestions pool.So its a good job that suggestions are not our only resource for what we are designed to do, which is to build categories. We have no interest in any benefit that the site might gain from being listed, neither are we interested in PR or such things. Just if the site has unique content.

You have suggested a site, thank you, nothing more you can do at DMOZ to promote, best go and find other ways to promote your site and one day you may return and get a pleasant surprise, but don't hold your breath.

 

It's strange that you keep on about me saying pretty much the same thing, then come in and say it yourself. What have you been doing in all those replies to me... trolling?

Though, I do agree with you, and in fact, will simply start copy/pasting this answer, as maybe, just maybe, it'll get you off my back for a change, as it's CLEAR you agree with the submit and forget/forget to submit mindset that is going around....unless of course it's me that is saying it.

 

Even for you, Q, this is a very poor twist of the statement. But if you would like to hold your breath until your next site gets listed, please feel free.

We constantly say that it can take from a few days to a few years to get listed. That's a long time for anyone to hold their breath, unless you want to prove me wrong.

 

Why would I do that? You say yourself it can take YEARS...which is why I often say FORGET TO SUBMIT.... some sites, by the accounts on DP have been submitted yearS ago... are you saying that submit and forget is any better then forget to submit? After all you are telling me not to hold my breath that I can get ANY site listed.

Are you really an editor?
