That is not true at all. Even the number 1 sites and even news sites of many countries are not listed....where as some bullshit copied jokes sites are listed...i have seen....so thats not truth and it depends on editor.
There is a quality control forum on the Resource Zone where hijacks, dead links, inappropriate sites etc can be reported. If you feel strongly about this area, perhaps you can help out. Or alternatively if there is an area of the directory which you have a strong interest in, why not apply to become an editor of said category. Also please note DMOZ is not a search engine. If site x ranks #1 on google for a particular term, it does not necessarily follow that it meets ODP listing guidelines and therefore should be listed.
and it is always strange that it meets guidelines for every other directories,search engine and site gets millions of visits per day BUT ALWAYS doesn't meet DMOOZ guidelines.... seems like barbed wire around it. Or may be because of Christmas holiday that editors are not available...
Point out in my post where we said that we listed every site that complied with guidelines. Point oout in any of my posts where I have said that we seek to list every site that follows guidelines. If you find sites that do not comply, report them, why come here shooting off your mouth that they exists if you have then ignored them, or don't they exist? What I can point out to you is that I have saiud that we are not interested in Page Rank, latest gizmos, juts unique content rich sites. But we do not claim to want to list all sites that comply with guidelines nor are we able to. If that leaves your site behind, sorry, but it is how it is. That's very strange, I must check my editor dash board because last time I looked at it I could edit in EVERY category that DMOZ has. I guess the same is also true for JimNoble, who shows in his signature that he is a Meta editor and they too can edit everywhere. So how can we have any categories without editors? Every category has hundreds of editors, but don't expect to see their names at the bottom of a category, that just defines their boundaries. Any editors named in a category can edit in sub category, sub sub category, sub sub sub category etc. Now which categories we CHOOSE to edit in is where we cannot predict how long anyone will even work in a category, let alone the suggestions pool associated with it. And if you want to tell me which one to work in, will you mind if I tell you what you will do in your pare time tomorrow night?
Like people keep saying, there are cats without editors. If you disagree, that is fine, it's your word against all the people who have submissions wading in pools. Who can be right? Lets see... do you edit in ALL cats? Not that you can, do you? Have you checked out the satanism type cats as of late? Know any editor that has? What of the other occult cats that have not been updated in over a year.... you check those out right?
The comment was that not all sections have an administrator. Yes they do, as I said, I did not say that all categories were edited in any time period, I said they all had editors. We can edit where we choose within our privileges so some categories may wait a while, who knows where I shall edit tomorrow. It may be in occult it may not. Who knows where other editalls will edit, I certainly don't, at this stage they probably don't either, it may be in occult it may not, who knows? Maybe the occult is not very popular these days.
Why is it that when I reply it's suddenly administrator, but when you reply it's "That's very strange, I must check my editor dash board because last time I looked at it I could edit in EVERY category that DMOZ has." ? Are you an admin? I think not... you've not even proven yourself to be an editor! See. You must have misread it too Last I checked it was growing a bit faster then ummm... the Methodist Church?? That IS a place where you edit right? Funny that...
Funny? Funny is that you keep asking him to prove that he is an editor, but then, you repeatedly keep saying that he edits in the religion cats. So im guessing that you know that he is an editor. I suppose that you have a hard time remembering things, given you twist and turn them so often
Me, twist & turn? I heard a rumor was all, still have no proof! If Scriptlance does not prove buying & selling links, how can a random PM saying Anonymously is anything but? All I am doing is asking that the editors do as they ask, and offer up some proof once in a while. *shrug* At least I try, rather then simply pointing to edit counts and personal attacks like many of the editors here...
Q One of the first rules on a forum is to read the thread......if you had done so you would have known that I said to you So firstly the whole directory has admins, unfortunately the poster used administrator to be what I would understand as an editor. But there you could not have worked that out, far too complicated for you wasn't it? Pity that a new year has not requited your venom for the organisation that you espoused, even so briefly. Have a happy new year.
Must have been. Lets see someone else it was too complicated for... Now just where did you correct him? Remember, the first rule of forums is to read the thread Or at the very least the post you are replying too! I assume that one of the rules of forums would be to understand it's functionality.. like, oh... the QUOTE functions!
LOL. What a great statemenet, the first time that i have seen you post an accurate statement. Triage and emergency doctors prioritise patients every single day, they decide who goes first, what patient is seen and what patient is sent away to a local GP. We decide what to publish and what not to. Then some doctors specialise, some in Neuro, some in paediatrics, some in musc-skelatal. A great example, the only difference being that Doctors are highly paid, editors do it for free. Some editors specialise in Art, some in sports and some in regional and choose to only edit there, not elsewhere. Just like doctors. Editors prioritize what is reviewed and from what source, the suggestion pool, found whilst surfing the net, written media, etc. Like patients, webmasters believe that they are the only one, that they are the most important and that they require immediate and special attention. Some people choose to go to a medical centre rather than a hospital. It is faster and they are guaranteed of being seen in a timely fashion. Thats very much like a webmaster buying a listing from BOTW rather than waiting for dmoz to possibly review the site. So what you wrote is true and the first time that i have seen you make any sense. Thanks for that
The saddest part is that is an over generalization! one that many editors seemingly have about webmasters... NOT all webmasters think they are the only one. In fact, if you pay close attention, most of them are complaining that they have a competitor as a DMOZ editor
And we both know that this a false and incorrect claim. A named editor on a cat does not mean that only that editor will edit there. You know that Q, you are merely trying to cast a dispersion yet again, the truth being that people always look for a reason as to why their site is not included. They want something, or someone, to blame Any evidence or proof of abuse should be reported immediately.
I don’t think you like what I said or you would Pos. Rep. me but I do believe that you had no choice but acknowledge the parallel I made because by enthusiastically arguing my point you could make yourself look like sore looser. Granted, they do that all the time and that is what we expect them to do. We want them to take care with terminal patient first but…. Just imagine Doctors start choosing patients on bases of how they dressed, pleasantry of facial expressions, how much time doctor have to deal with an issue before his scheduled coffee break starts etc. Yes, we Webmasters want Editors to list best sites they can find but if that was the case then we all would be happy but because Webmasters can see endless crap that Editors constantly listing compare to what they’re ignoring and letting rot in pending bin, Editors are getting our resentment and our disrespect towards them as a result the same way Doctor would if he serves beautiful looking woman with bruised elbow and ignores homeless man with high fever. fastreplies
Including this webmaster, Fastreplies, who just happens to have a directory as a web site. We have competition. LOL.
lol....no comments... There is one saying,"It is easy to wake up the people who is indeed sleeping,but to wake up a person who is acting to be sleeping, is in fact difficult". As a computer professional i teach and has been taught system should be user friendly,intuitive with less complaints and gradually developing...(even complains with confusion means system is not very good) but rather than investigating why forums like these are flooded with complains,where we need to change our system,explanation,can that part which confusion eradicated in any way"...... they(dmmoz or answering people) just seem to feel that they are 100% right what ever comes and people who feels they are not 100% right are mad and don't know any thing....lol and this has been root of the problem. plus,being in any industry,i agree my system should gradually develop,satisfy people even in non profit business but when we say that they say "It is not our business,we don't have time,may be we will do it next time we get vacation...lol" with the answers like that what to argue next...lol
Do you mean , That if I have a good website with hundreds of unique and informative articles , with high traffic because people like the website and find it informative , someday, a Dmoz editor will come across, and list (or wathever you want) my website himself ? without me asking ? is this the main idea of Dmoz ? If it's that, then I didn't understand Dmoz in the past .. Another thing .. Everyone knows that some editors submit their "websites" , deep linking, wrong categories etc etc .. Is there anyone who is cleaning the directory after them ? if no why not ? why if people give examples of websites in the wrong section, or spam websites listed, why these websites aren't removed or moved at least .. Dmoz is important because it's supported by many directories, Google alexa etc etc .. SO its responsibility is big enough to encourage the editors to clean it and make it better .. You know, a spam website listed there may be more visible than a quality website in the serp, by that you are making the internet worse and worse .. Thanks for responding and clarifying certain points.
I got approved in two days No money no tricks I've just found a 1 entry category and they probably needed to populate it
