Well, it's nice to know at what pace the directory moves. It's sad that you all hate webmasters so much that you've put DMOZ at a stand still because you now refuse to edit submissions because a webmaster suggested it may help the project. I'll remember that next time I submit a site... Better yet. Stay logged in here becoming more and more bitter. Never, ever, log back into DMOZ to actually make it a better directory. Never again edit listings, and by all the gods, don't bother being nice to webmasters or submitters.
Ironically it was said by an editor at ODP OK, Q, bit of friendly advice. I want you to spend the next 3 hours writing posts on here, then tomorrow spend 10 hours writing on here. Now don't tell me you do this in your spare time, that's no excuse. I want you to do it, so I expect you to do it. Now know why I responded in the way I did?
This is DMOZ...the worse directory that I ever saw in my life! One year ago I send them 4 websites. I resend them this year. No answer at all. I apply to be an editor for one category and I was refused without reason. I really want to say this to somebody: they are assholes! The humans do it worse! You have no contact email to complain. I feel like somebody jerk on me. I'm totally revolted. There is no respect from this people. I can live without them, anyway. DMOZ is just bullshit, believe me. I'm available for any other questions.
Thats really great blackhat, you have really made my day. Our system works. And works well. That we can detect and keep some scumbag low life black hat seo/webmaster out of the directory shows that our system really works. Thanks again, feedback like yours makes it all so worthwhile
Blackhat SEO (with the exception of cloaks and mirrors) and Webmasters are both allowed in. Besides, you don't really know what sites the guy is talking about do you? Maybe his content is all unique/original. After all, that IS the ONLY thing needed to get into the ODP right? I mean, according to you following the guidelines to get a listing is shakey advice! So, assuming that you are correct, then with that, to get a listing, editors only look for unique content. By the way, I'm still waiting for you to find another editor to back up your claims about following the guidelines being shakey advice...
You never check my websites. Blackhat is just a nickname! Your system stinks! I will put in all my websites: I'm proud NOT to be listed in DMOZ On top of that I will explain to everybody how assholes you are. You think you are gods just because DMOZ is old? This organization MUST be take it down. All webmasters are agree! Let's do something, guys! They are so arrogants! Action NOW!
All your base are belong to DMOZ! You are a pretty vulgar little fellow... Of your seven posts, four of them have expletives. If your site is anything like your posts, then that may explain a few things. And as for you being proud of not being listed, then why all the animosity for them not listing you?
reading about the work behind listing of a site in the ODP , http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html it seems to involve several factors , which could be beyond just your opinion of what your site is . To find out : Is the site's content/information identical to other sites? Is the site complete? And , Sites Generally Not Included, could easily need more than just one visit .
Are you being deliberately naive? These are webmaster seo forums. It ain't a great leap of logic to conclude what someone called blackhat33 was about, just like it would not be a great leap of logic to work out what someone someone called goatsacrificer33 was about at one of your devil worshiping forums. You are talking gibberish, my dear friend, I am becoming very concerned for you. Backhat=original content?. Perhaps in the gloomy world you inhabit, but not in the real world. Look Qryztufre, go outside stand in the sun for a few minutes, take some deep breaths, and clear your mind of the cobwebs and think what you are saying. There is not an editor who would not agree that unique and original content is the most important thing that a website needs to be listed.
You are completely and totally ignorant of my forums and thank you for showing the world that. And with that, you are completely ignorant of the members website. For all you know it could be his mothers recipe site, or his favorite blog about hunting. It may not take a lot of logic to conclude that he may be into black hat practices, but that certainly does not mean that is all he does. Take Anonymously for instance...by your logic he does not have a name in real life. regardless of your ignorance...

Either way you are passing judgment on a submitter based on his/her username, rather then whether or not the site qualifies. That does say a lot about why so many sites are rejected. And as for devil worship, that's allowed too: Society: Religion and Spirituality: Esoteric and Occult: Satanism Though, if you honestly think it's all about goat sacrifices, you should read something other then what your minister gives you. Again, find an editor to back you up saying that following the guidelines is shaky advice. I know you'll not be able to do it, and in fact, I know that if you'd not be hiding behind your fake name now you'd not have said that. So come on...find another editor to back up your lies!
I aint got no real name, let's have a big "ah" Not sure how you can infer your statement from this post "Hey Qryztufre, you should stick to your hocus pocus, your advice on this topic is a bit shakey as you forgot to mention the most important thing - unique content, and the more the better. Also the bit about paying to have a site listed being within the guidelines is nonsense. Earlier in the thread when you said "bribes are a sure fire way of a permanent ban from the directory" you had it right." But when has the truth mattered to you, so long as you can continue to appear as though you were an editor or as someone important or that you know something about ODP. Well you certainly know how to get your own website listed, don't you, Q> Yes, go on tell people, apply to be an editor, list your own site, have a spat and leave. Just what you did, yes it was. Oh don't forget to add that if the site gets de-listed because it goes 404 you can always file an abuse report against the editor. You certainly know a lot about ODP.
So you are agreeing with nebby that following the guidelines to get listed is shaky advice? yeah, thought that is how it was... There is a difference between getting paid and accepting a bribe. Can't you get that through your thick skull? Here, maybe Robjones or Alucard can convince you, or maybe the guidelines themselves OH WAIT, you believe the guidelines are shaky... So, who is one to believe. Two editors and an ex-editor that all use their editor names and the guidelines, or someone claiming to be an editor that thinks following the submission guidelines for a listing is shaky advice?
You could get paid for twisting words and ideas like that..its a polititions delight. You could scriptwright for any of them. Take just not quite the truth, make it sound like the truth, say it often enough and hope that people believe you. Good to know that you are good for something, even if it is only spin and half truths.
Yes, I'm twisting the words here... I've given two named editors and have quoted the guidelines... what have you given?
Qryztufre, it is a real shame that you did not take my advice to go outside stand in the sun for a few minutes, take some deep breaths. Yes the ODP does has a category for Satanism and I support your lifestyle choice. My editor name no secret, I just choose to keep it from those who I do not trust. I will give you an example you might understand. Earlier this year a member of your satan forum killed a Vicar apparently as part of a drug crazed satanistic ritual. Would you want him knowing who you were? I wouldn't.
Ummm... do I need to explain whats wrong with that? I banned him over two years ago, he was a member of the forum for less then three months, and um...once again, thanks for showing your ignorance. The guy had serious issues LONG before he joined the forum I was a part of. Here, read more from him: www.qryztufre.com/life/10/17/i-banned-a-geraint-evans/ And if you'd have bothered to read something other then one article from the BBC then you'd maybe have realized he was in fact NOT a satanist. He thought he WAS Jesus. So again, we see you are not doing your research. It's no wonder you said following guidelines are shaky and that you rely on content only. It's editors like that make getting a DMOZ listing so haphazard...
I'll skip most of the heinously off topic bs and address one whopper that vaguely has bearing... For anyone that isn't familiar with the facts, the quote above has zero bearing on truth. We don't "hate" webmasters, and in fact a lot of our own people are webmasters too, so that'd be kinda hard to pull of. Despite the occasional hype, our directory has done a lot of good at getting webmasters product in front of people. Not only are we not "at a standstill" (no idea where that came from)... we have had years of sustained growth, which belies the idea we've refused to edit submissions. Hopefully those reading can tell there are frequent posters here that have issues, they just aren't related to the posted topics.
