If you had looked a wee bit more carefully at the logs in the category, you would have seen that when the robot called "system" did those "modify" edits, nothing changed. "System" was cleaning up some coding problems throughout the directory, but most of the changes were invisible to humans.

Next time you feel like ranting, try to find something real to rant about.

 

so what sort of positive changes do you have to suggest, orlady? http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=15673

 

Is it wrong to assume the webmaster knows the site hasn't been finished?

 

compostannie,

That's one scenario. DMOZ doesn't tell anyone anything except "wait more, we are king here.. when we say wait, you wait."

They could have said denied it, sent an automated reply that said "denied, site unfinished/under construction, resubmit when it's finished."

But they don't bother to send out anything except snide remarks in forums where people mention DMOZ.

Such pointless loyalty to a job for which you don't even get paid, except in ego perks.

 

What the...?! Is it wrong to assume that DMOZ also knows the site isn't finished yet decides to stick poles up newbie webmasters who are trying to put food on the table?

SO WELL WORDED. KUDOS.

Hahaha. Don't you love living life through a proxy?

I think someone should register www.DownWithDMOZ.com and make it a super simple website that has no errors just big flashing words and then submit it to DMOZ for indexing. Then, create 50 different forum usernames and start new posts every day asking if the site has been reviewed yet.

 

well...guess what.

im decking it out with DMOZ after all. having a little chit chat on the old RZ...

wow, this is getting good

 

Careful TOOT or we will sic Minstrel and VS on you

 

I'm shaking ... did you read Yarman's thread in RZ?

 

No time, got to go jump in the shower and go nite, nite.....

Can't play with you guys much anymore

 

This answer from ishtar is interesting after your request that they should delete your site:

"I denied your requests for the Reference category. You have a website, we think it's useful to our users, so we choose to link to it. If you don't want us to link to it, then you should take the website off the Internet."

What arrogance , no wonder everybody hates these morons.

 

It's pretty interesting, he is actually asking to be delisted and the whole crew is there

 

I'll be acting like a sports commentator in here hehe

I love DP so much, freedom of speech rocks! And the good ones will survive ... on both sides long term speaking that is!

 

Oh, get bent. And please go back to RZ to do it...

Is it wrong to assume that somewhere in the course of a year someone could have used a little common courtesy and told this individual what the hell was going on?

ST you are such a hypocrite... last night you were blasting all of us for ruining your "big" plan to use a blog get AOL to discipline these people and blaming us for "dragging you back in" and here you are again...

orlady, take him back to RZ with you, please...

 

I am blasting YOU for being just like the RZ hotheads.

 

Like I told you last night TOOT, we have a lot of folks discussing real issues here and like Minstrel said it is not a joke to us even though we use humor in many cases to discuss the issues.

 

of course this is serious, so let's not resort to RZ tactics where we are trying to censor in here.

 

No one is trying to keep you from your opinions, it is just that we can't judge you from one day to the next as to what your next idea or position will be.

So we have lost a bit of confidence in what you are saying, now that can be repaired if you start speaking on the real issues and that is all Minstrel is pointing out.
