    If you thought the answer is no and DMOZ only lists unique and content rich sites, you are sadly mistaken. Here is the official DMOZ version:

    Translation: We can not be bothered to make sites, we just copy the template from the web site we are affiliate to and listed in DMOZ.

    Let's at the same time look at what is DMOZ position on people who use other people copyrighted material.

    Translation: while making doorway pages, we do not bother to buy the content that we use.

    And let's end this with Adult "Mantra":
    Translation: Just because a web site is illegal and breaks many federal laws, it is a template site that infringes on other people copyright and has no unique content, you shouldn't delete it and instead list it. :rolleyes:

    The DMOZ guidelines are a joke and an embarrassment.

    It is worth than that, it is a corruption by guideline. In a real life this will be equal to the crooks taking over the government and add new laws that legalize drug trafficking, bank robbery and other type of crimes. ;)
