They don't have to move it, that is true, most usually will but they can't delete it either, which is what you contended happened IT DOES NOT GET DELETED. You continued Neither have you offered any evidence at all that it does happen, just another smear because you have a chip on your shoulder about DMOZ about as big as Mount Everest. I do feel sorry for you, to feel so rejected and angry all this time. Lets have an Aah for Q.
Can't delete a suggestion from the suggestion pool *GASP* no wonder no one dares use it, it's full of spam that they can't get rid of!!!!!! Seriously, stop lying to the masses here. If it can't be removed, then what is done with all the other suggestions that don't fit? Oh yeah, using the wrong word, I mean "removed"
And you are the one saying that editors DELETE sites that are offered to the wrong category. Refusing to offer any proof and simply trying to use smear tactics. Please remove that massive chip from your shoulder, you have carried it too long. Sites are NOT DELETED if they are offered to the wrong category, please stop trying to put untruths about. edit to add Q, you really do get worse, please learn to read posts. I said that sites that did not fit the category would not be deleted. Sites which are spam are not what we were talking about and can be delted. Let me put it simply for anyone trying to understand when you deliberately muddy the water. Sites which are LISTABLE sites are NOT deleted because they have been sugested to the wrong category. They are either left until someone else moves the site or the editor doing the review moves the site to the correct category for review.
Can not, or are not? If it's ARE NOT, then it's you that is wrong! Of the thousands of editors, not one deleted a suggestion to the wrong category? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.... Then again, I guess you are correct, if the editors don't bother with the suggestion pool, then I guess they can't I am NOT saying they ALWAYS delete them, however, you seem to be saying they NEVER do...
Obviously you are just being argumentive. Sites that are listable but have been submitted to an incorrect category are simply moved to the correct category. Obviously you didnt learn much from your "10 minutes" editing experience.
How does the system know what is spam and what is simply posted to the wrong category that disallows it being deleted? Or are you saying that it's a RULE and not a guideline that editors must move them? If it's a rule, then why are the rest of the things that should be followed called guidelines? If it's a guideline, then wouldn't that mean that the suggestion pool IS used by all editors? If the system can tell the difference, then why are there editors to begin with? I am not just being argumentative, I'm actually just trying to give the most complete answer. Saying that they ARE NOT deleted, implies they CAN NOT be deleted, which is what is WRONG here. If it's possible to delete them, then saying... Sites that are listable but have been submitted to an incorrect category are simply moved to the correct category. Is not the entire story... Editors keep getting after me for saying half truthes and twisting things around, but honestly, what are you doing now?
It is technically possible to delete any site, the questions are about if an editor deletes a site from the suggestions pool if the site is listable but sent to the wrong category. The only thing I can believe you are trying to say is that as an editor (for 10 minutes) deleted sites suggested to the category you edited in when they had been suggested to that category incorrectly. But how you get to believing that are not deleted means cannot be deleted beats me. The answer is that an editor would not delete the site, s/he would either leave the site, because they may want a second opinion about where it should be sent or even if it was the correct category, or they send it to what they believe is the correct category. The judgement about if a site is listable or not is entirely an editorial decision, as you will remember from your crash course in editing. But perhaps you were not with us long enough to see the debates which can happen about if we list a particular site or not and even sometimes where we list a site and if we need a new category to list a site in.
When a site is in the queue, and if an editor looks for a site to list (the same site ; by browsing the net) it will show who submitted the site or who moved it or if it was just sitting there. By that I think you are lowering the pending listings in a submission pool even if an editor does not visit the queue. I think a native tongue can explain it very much better. I'm from the islands. lol.
Now honestly was that soooo hard? As for the rest of your post, and your previous posts in this thread, thanks for being the spokemen for all current and past editors. It's good to know that editors CAN delete the site, but out of their kind hearts they do not Though, I do find it strange that it took over a page for you simply to say what you started that last post with...
No one ever said we COULD NOT delete the site, I said we WOULD NOT delete the site. So its good that you now know the difference, though it has taken a page of you twisting words for you to be able to realise what everyone else saw many posts ago. I must have the patience of a saint.
o'rly? Your reply to the first time I corrected you... I don't see DELETE being an option in your two choices, yet by your own words (now) it IS an option... If you meant WOULD NOT from the start, why did it take this long to agree that it could actually be done? To those reading the thread, I'd guess that it would look like you are back tracking to save face...
But it isn't an option. Any more than it is an option to go to a category and simply delete all the sites in the category even though they are sites which deserve to be listed. Can we do that, yes we can, would we do that no we would not.
With due respect to Annonymously, I think you will find that he has offered an opinion using his extensive knowledge but that he will also agree that he is not "a spokesman for current or past editors". What i find strange is that you always try and twist words and spin different meanings into comments. Sadly, you are playing a tiresome game rather than actually attempting to help people that are posting to ask legitimate questions.
Snooks are you casting doubt on my omniscience? And if you know what it means please tell me. It was early in the morning here and I forgot to comment on that statement, though my sig is plain to read, but Q would not want to do anything so simple or easy. Guess its something to do with the way money is shared up for those registered here.
Telling the truth is twisting words and spinning different meanings into things? Of what? LIES!?!?!?! lol I'm not playing a game, just giving ALL the options and not shedding the ODP in a divine light when it should not be shown as such. I do not resort to personal attacks, I do not resort to hiding behind a false name... within this thread the ONLY thing I've twisted has been the half truths of a supposed editor. If the option is there to delete a suggestion, then the option is most likely used. To say that an "editor would not do that" is to put words into the mouths of editors and to ASS=U+ME that no editor would. Look at how I am talked about, I listed one site and a handful of others, I didn't break any rules, yet somehow I am a bad person and was a horrible editor....if I actually followed the rules and was horrible what does that make the rest of the editors? If they are all horrible, and MOVING a site is not a rule, then erm...blah, logic is lost on you as well isn't it? This entire thing is really pointless, I proved my point I think.... EDITORS CAN DELETE THE SUGGESTION RATHER THEN MOVE IT. Not it's not a question of WOULD, it's a question of SHOULD.
No. IT IS NOT AN OPTION ANY MORE THAN IT IS AN OPTION TO SET OFF AND DELETE ALL THE SITE IN DMOZ. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO EDITORS WHO TRY IT?
Ok, explain to me then how the system can tell the difference between a site that is spam or one that does not fit the rest of the criteria for the ODP and one that is suggested to the wrong category? By what you are saying there is either a LOT of old rejected submissions sitting around that no one can seemingly delete, or you are talking out your backside. What do you do with the suggestions that are rejected? Are they all still in the suggestion pool? It's clear that editors can not delete them at this point... as delete is NOT an option! And this is the last time I am asking this, if you can not answer, the world will know you are a troll, and Snooks can start replying to you saying it's really you that is being argumentative and not being helpful. I mean, , if the suggestion pool is full of crap that can not be deleted, then I'll certainly add that to my site of things to stop complaining about, heck, I'll even start standing up and praising editors for not bothering with the damned cess pool. Seriously! So I'll ask again, What do you do with the suggestions that are rejected? Are they all still in the suggestion pool?
all rejected site will not seen in the suggestion tool but totally not listed...I won't get listed anymore even you submit your site again.
