How to stop a DMOZ scam ?

Discussion in 'ODP / DMOZ' started by Design Agent, Jan 14, 2005.

    Any ideas how to get someone removed from being a Dmoz editor, when he is editing the category his sites are in... obviously he is loading his anchor/ descriptions with keywords and leaving them out for others.. to the point that they don't even come out in a dmoz search for their keywords.
    Any Suggestions other than contacting DMOZ would be useful ?

    Hi younghistorians,
    If you are an editor, maybe you can help me out in here.
    For the past year I'm trying to get http://www.Shaislighting.com listed without success... I know that there is waiting time, but can it take more then a year ?

    Hi
    Ive had the same problem with a few sites only i have waited longer than a year :(
    the category must be ran by someone with more than an interest in the section.

    What category did you guys submit to?

    Some of the bigger categories are pretty backed up with some of the larger business ones topping 45,000 sites in the queue.


    Unless it's a pretty specific category, you might just have to keep waiting :(

    I saw that there are editors here. I send an application to become an editor about 2 weeks ago, but I didn't get any response. I will receive any response if I am not accepted ? Why we have to wait such a long time ? X-(
