DMOZ - a test of ethics

That is why they get away with their conduct

 

But what have you really been banned from? Basically, aggravation.

 

Yeah, I was basicall done in that forum, just wanted to check and see if the super powers within that staff had decided to give any kind of realistic explanations.

Guess it is all for the best, I had waisted enough time in there over the past week.

 

Nope. They banned you and locked the thread:

 

This is a question of continuence ... not just ethics. Only the good will survive!

This is most amusing to me, because this "hutcheson" is currently attempting to wave his little prick at me.

His ResourceZone profile has no information on him, so I went to Google and Google brought me to this thread.

 

This is very sad and we must work on finding a solution with those guys, too many good DMOZ editors and too many good webmasters are here who are willing to connect to make things work.

 

Just back-reading this thread a bit to remind myself of the content, I found this that I'd overlooked before:

Hope this helps

 

Hey guys, let's make this count. This thread should not be used for anything like
"My site does not get listed".
It is about a major problem going on that is a lot bigger than individual web sites.
Things are esclating and a positive solution needs to be found for all

What happened to this post? From my email notification:

Alucard, first, I did quote and reference the entire statement above. In the later post, I did what good editors always do: I removed the superfluous words to distill it down to its essential meaning for the readers of this forum.

 

What happened was that I read back and saw that you had quoted the original earlier, and therefore my post was completely surperfluous, and the humour obvious. Hence, as it added no value to the conversation, I deleted it.

..and if that's what you think a "good" editor does, there are some newspapers with whom I'm sure you could get a very good job

FTR, I laughed when I read what you wrote, and was curious to find out just how you got from what I said to what you wrote.

Good one!

 

I agree -- I'm not a fan of journalism -- I don't think reporters report anymore: they editorialize and disguise it as reporting. At least Michael Moore, as annoying as he is, doesn't pretend to be unbiased.

Good to see you still have a sense of humor!

 

Ok, Guys, I dont mean to interrupt this thread.. and I havent read it, but I have a good idea of what it about. I have only been a member since nov, but the amount of time spent on these dmoz threads.. there have been a couple running concurrently for a few days at least, is far too much.

If all the contributers dedicated the time spent on these threads to making a whole new directory. Im sure with the talent in here it would be very powerful and from what I have seen of dp will be like a snowball rolling down a hill.

I cant search on google anymore for any web/ seo info without finding dp come up somewhere in the results. So, do something constructive. I think if there was a rival to dmoz it would have to improve and you would all get your wish.

 

Hey... no one is forcing anyone to read them. Just unsubscribe to stop the notifications.

As I said to sitetutor when he said no one was interested, if that were true, why are so many people reading and replying to them? Not only here but on ANY forum where one is started?

 

Its not that Im not interested, i just figured you could have more effect, as Will Spencer mentioned in either this or the 'other' thread.

I submit to dmoz and leave it, then persue other avenues.
