    If six of your sites were removed from the same or similar categories, by far the most likely explanation is that someone realised they did not meet DMOZ requirements for original and unique content.

    I have not looked, by the way, but that scenario is immeasurably more likely than one in which a "rival site" (sic) removed them.

    apparently they met the requirements 3-4 months ago and I didn't touch the sites in 3 months
    but if was a rival, well then I wish him good luck;)

    Well you can check that for yourself by reading the Selection Criteria of course.

    However it is not at all unusual for unsuitable sites to be listed in error by a new or inexperienced editor, and then the mistake found and rectified as part of the on-going mentoring programme and quality control.
    Again, this is way more likely than a "rival", but of course if you have any evidence of abusive editing (which includes inappropriate deletion of competitor sites), please report it with as much detail as you have about the editor in question.

    What logs? If you have access to the ODP logs, then lets hear more about it....

    Also knowing the sites could help show what the cause was/is.

    LOL. :D DMOZ requirements, original and unique. :rolleyes::D

    You are joking, right? Tell me you actually don't believe this BS.
    It is funny that even when you according to your admission know nothing about the case, you are as always ready to make up an excuse for DMOZ. :rolleyes:

    Knowing the sites can help us tell you if they do not meet the guidelines... but then again, posting the sites here could also get your sites flagged somehow in the ODP. Posting them here is up to you, but you can only get limited input on them if we do not know what you are talking about.

    *shrug*
