DMOZ Scandal of the YEAR

No need to hold your breath just spit it out. Two sides of a coin and might need to choose.

 

It is not a double standard, it is a simple standard that they are fine with abuse as long as the "senior" editors get their share and you are useful for them but they get rid of "independent" corrupt or if you make problem for them.

One of the "pillars" of "integrity" in attacking Annie is robjones, may be people should look at his categories and see how many interesting "edits" they can find there.

 

Hotest topic on DP at the moment? 4,352 views as of this writing (which may be up to an hour off, with several posts in that time).

I wonder if this source is considered "credible" in the eyes of Wiki?

As I'm pretty sure this is a webmaster forum, and that this thread at least is outlining at least one of the ODP purported shortcomings.

 

This might be of interest to readers. Paidhosting you made a name for yourself.

Resource Zone Editors Only

.

 

You're spying on RESOURCE-ZONE???? Have you no shame. You are stigmatized with the double embarassment of dmoz editorship AND resource-zone membership? Your mother must be disppointed...

Too funny...

 

Of course it is! The thread contains undisputed quotes from their internal fora.

 

It is actually the mother of some editors who should be ashamed of giving birth to such jerks.

Crowbar posting to Annie in Feb. before Annie removal:

Crowbar posting after Annie removal:

It seems the word JERK doesn't even start to describe this guy.

 

I recall both quotes while still an editor, and any editor still around could likely verify both now...unless of course they get changed to save face.

It really does seem to me that the 'bad apples' of the ODP all hang out at RZ. I bet there is a super secret forum there specifically for discussing things that would otherwise raise all sorts of flags...but then, that's speculation. Regardless though, it should be obvious that many of these people are two faced. If any editor claims these people as friends, they would be wise to take a step back and look how CompostAnnie was treated!

 

What is Reliable source for wiki is very hard to determine best is to ask Jimbo.

So many spies... poor dmoz... no wonder they are so paranoid. So when do we start posting all those meta forum threads we have copied?

 

Don't insult him, he is only doing his job at Ministry of Truth: "Annie was never honest editor, she was corrupt from day one, metas attempted to help her for years but failed and decided to remove her."

 

To helleborine: Yes, I was indeed talking about skrenta.
To Ivan: Good gosh, Ivan, even you should know me well enough to know I don't have a shy bone in my body.
To PooPooButt: Thanks for letting me know which editor thought I was affiliated with the new resource-zone. Until I was accused of being a member I didn't even know the site existed. I am not and never have been a member of that forum to anyone who cares.

For the record: The reason for my personal debate about posting is simply that I actually have a life that does not include anything to do with ODP. I have made it a point to distance myself as much as possible from all forums related to or post about the ODP whether good or bad. The directory is a lost cause for which I had just as soon forget was ever a part of my life.

 

From Ministry of Truth: dogbows was never honest editor and has been working against DMOZ from first day, spying for bunny years before he started his website.

Talk about conspiracy dozens of editor infiltrating DMOZ for years so they could bring it down... reminds of certain scammer which posted fake job ad and had hundreds of people do free translations for him when similar forum thread started I posted his identity details and that he was already charged with all sorts of felonies (yes, I'm real scum ) so his reaction was to start bashing me that I worked in his company and stole a laptop (could really use one so if anyone has one... ), in the end he become so paranoid to accuse that I faked entire thread and hundreds of nicknames, same scammers seems to have later become admin of that same forum so he could prevent same thing from happening to him again.

I know that but I'm like vulture gathering over corps.

 

I tried to do the same, but what they did to Annie broke my resolve! They are a lost cause indeed, they have demonstrated this over and over again. I do hope to turn up and expose them to full light with every major screwup, for a long, long time. If only as a reminder that when you do people wrong, the blowback is not always only short-term pain. It could be a persistent agony, haha.

 

I think it would be wonderful if we could find more editors to relay their stories. See how big this really can get.

I think that the better majority of those let go are likely silent, just like the majority that stay say nothing. It takes a certain amount of courage to stand up, and such courage is something I applaud.

They can't discredit us all with soul language and lies. Eventually things will come to an end, as each additional Editor comes forward, that is potentially one more editor that remains saying "OMG, them too?!?!?"

When enough nerves have been struck, a nervous breakdown will follow.

 

Annie, I know you are not logging into this forum, but just in case you are following this thread as a guest. I am taking this opportunity to openly remind you that you do still hold the position as Editor-in-Chief of another although tiny niche directory. Once you feel better, there is nothing I would like better than to see you take that little bull by the horns and run with it!

 

How about slimy backstabbing treacherous unprincipled opportunistic sycophant?

 

Not crowbar!!

 

Don't hope for much most editors simply got fed up and quit on there own and forgot about DMOZ long time ago, only few die hards optimists like annie, gboisseau... stayed on the sinking boat hoping for a miracle. Many removed editors also forgot about DMOZ i.e. ViciousSummer. So that leaves only few grudge holding bastards who want revenge I mean justice!

So that was the real reason - I was removed because DMOZ was just too small for two of us!

 

I only stayed quiet because of Annie. I even met some of them personally in a FORUM. I cant say anything about the OTHERS that I have met because they are quiet for now. One thing for sure when you say that your a FRIEND and NOT STAND UP and defend your FRIEND while their BEATING her DOWN is a QUESTION MARK to ME.
I dont speak anymore of my removal, my avatar doesnt fit in there and I want it.

Now back to recent DMOZ Forum Posts.

And you know damn well crowbar about what a TROLL is and what is the meaning of a LYING SCUMBAG. This is important crowbar : if you only knew what others say about you behind your back you'd go crawl under a rock and cry.

 

Interesting. He has "no opinion" but he has "specific information about Annie's activities" - strange comibination...

Why do I have this nagging impression that crowbar did have, at some time, a very strong, and unfavorable opinion? Maybe it's posts like the ones below?
