    It seems that some ODP Editors are getting away for a favored listing. Some listings that don't even belong to a specific category. Guarding the categories and not being fair to all submissions is an indication that there is still corrupt practices. Am I bitter ? Yes I am. Because when I use to have that category I played fair. If an editor owns a site he should submit it to a proper category and waits just like everybody else. I submitted my sites to a few categories and never got in. But the editor knew of my site and knows that its listable.

    Randomly checking a few sites and who is domain tools these are sites that does not even belong to this certain category.

    http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Philippines/Guides_and_Directories/

    Batchlinks - Directory and search engine for Philippine oriented websites.
    This does not even have unique content and does not even pertain to the Philippines.

    Brainshare - Contains news, ringtones, tips, TV and movie guides, and tutorials.
    Holy Chit ! (My local directory has more content than this ) :eek:

    Davao Blogspace - Directory and aggregator of weblogs related to Davao.
    Even if this passes for a listing it does not belong to this category. Belongs to Davao.

    Davao City Directory - Online telephone directory for Davao City, Philippines.
    Another one.

    Facts at a Glance - Quick facts on land area, population, money, and type of plugs for appliances.
    What the facts is this ?

    Go Baguio - Complete guide to the city of Baguio.
    Goes to Baguio

    Grabeh - Search engine and portal with news, chatrooms, message boards and games.
    Not a search engine. Its a blog.

    Images Philippines - Features images, photographs, and artworks of and about the Philippines, its people, its landscape and its culture.
    Does not belong in said category but probable owned by editor.

    Look - Search using different Philippine search engines and directories.
    Nothing unique. Owned probably by editor.

    Web.ph Network - Network of Philippine sites that includes a search engine, news, and other information.
    Does not belong in category but probably a paid listing.

    Love Pinoy - Search engine for Filipino related websites.
    Another part of the joke.

    Ortigas Online - Provides news, information and interactive building and street map of Ortigas Center, Manila.
    Belongs to National Capital Region or Manila.

    Philippine Search Engine and Directory - Contains Philippine-related sites. Includes a free stuff directory.
    Indeed a well stuffed anchored title.

    Pinoy Henyo - Filipino-made website where users ask questions and get answers.
    Even it passes a listing belongs to World Tagalog

    PinoyLinks
    - Directory indexing Filipino websites.
    Not enough links to warrant a listing.

    Ratified.org - Directory of Philippine blogs according to Technorati data.
    Probable website of editor.

    MOST ignore what's on here (DP) and would redirect anywho to their MOST FAVORED forum (which is controlled by the way mostly of arrogant ODP mobsters). I just don't understand it when they already got the message here and still would redirect you to the Land of BS.

    But let me tell you this they will come out more with BS defending their precious works rather than acknowledging that there are things need to be done or I get more infractions or this thread will be closed. :rolleyes:

    This is not a feedback forum for DMOZ, I am sure there are appropriate channels for you to direct your feedback to. Best of Luck and Thread Closed.
