Well at least you admit that you cant prove they are real So commonsense will tell you that as in law, "You are innocent until proven guilty". So you can quit claiming it is "proof" of corruption because as you said yourself, you cant even prove they are real and not scams aimed at people obsessed with their sites being in DMOZ.
I think this freelancer is the proof of dmoz paid listing. http://www.freelancer.com/users/feedback_2198118.html Kindly look, how he did the listing within 10 days. Still the dmoz fellows say that it is not paid!! I can't believe. Instead of doing inquiry on the activity of that user/editor, the person is getting slammed by dmoz fellows. http://www.picpaste.com/pics/Feedback_for_mightybo_-_Freelancer.com-FBqB5XYH.1304818582.png
He is from Belgium. Another proof is enough: http://www.picpaste.com/pics/mightybo_-_Freelancer.com_-_dmoz_advisor-JqSojnYO.1304818718.png Hmm... dmoz editor here. I can find-> http://www.dmoz.org/search?q=www.dartshop.com.au and -> http://www.dmoz.org/search?q=www.ofear.com Now I am also sure that my site won't be listed there. I have come to the point about what is going around there. I shall stay away from such controvercial free services.
Congratulations, you are so observent, considering i display them in my profile. I also mention that i am a DMOZ Editor. Yes both sites are listed in DMOZ, as both are compliant. Its a shame that the other 10-15 sites i operate are non-compliant as if they complied, i would list them also Listing your own sites in DMOZ is no issue as long as you declare your affiliations, ensure that the sites meet the guidelines for listability and that you treat it like you would treat any other site. Is there anything else you would like to infer?? You wernt hinting i was doing anything wrong, i hope??
I think I haven't asked you anything. I asked Jim, as he only comes up with some genuine answers. I don't have time to look at your crap posts. Kindly avoid my posts, and please do not reply to my posts. You don't have any logic or answer in your posts.

Hence he is either Senior Editor or Meta Editor. I was shouting for year, why most of the categories are not updated for years. But here I can see updates are being done in even 7 days too. Now I have understood why categories are not being updated. Because if categories are regularly updated or updated frequently, there will be no market for DMOZ listing, hence there will be no earning for the DMOZ Editors. After all they are volunteering for FREE(!). So, they need some wahges I think. Good, keep going. Best of luck to DMOZ. It was my fault that I was expecting the most corrupt directory as non-corrupted. I must blame myself. Qryztufre, I think we are wasting our time talking about those crap and corrupts. We should leave this thread as you can see no one is interested here to bother. Let them get more corrupted. Who cares!
isn't it funny that dmoz editors have their sites listed in dmos. I like this system of "refer a friend" (or yourself for that matter). think i'll apply for editing myself, but whats their interest in accepting new guys? they seem to make loads of money with no work... any editor care to explain?
There is nothing wrong with an editor listing a site they are associated with as long as it is suitable for inclusion, given a title and description that follows our editing guidelines and is not treated any differently than other sites in the same category. Editors found accepting money in exchange for listing a site are removed along with the sites that paid. How can examples like that be considered proof? There is no useful information. There are 1000's of website owners from London. "I might be able to help - see PM." is also not helpful, if you can supply a copy of the PM then perhaps that might offer more useful details... Accusations of editorial abuse or corruption are taken very seriously, but you need to supply more than a few vague freelancer posts as proof.
I have a suggestion if you can take honestly. 1] Search for the websites added between 03/14/2011 and 03/24/2011. I hope there aren't much as people here are crying 'my site is not listed for 3 years', 'my site is not listed for 2 years' etc etc. 2] Search for such dmoz editors who has that much power to edit in several categories. 3] Get the dmoz editor of Belgium. If you cannot catch that dmoz editor, then accept that dmoz editors are taking bribes now a days. Simple. DhrubaJyotiDeka had to show you the photo of that dmoz editor! Or does he had to show you the video footage of that dmoz editor taking bribe!! Ask him, he may be able to provide you such proof for your satisfaction. After all, there are something else also needed for satisfaction, beyond of money.
yadayadayada if the big bad wolf will catch you... come on with these stories. I've applied several times to be an editor of a category i personally involvled with as a hobby, this category didn't have an editor, no reply, no nothin. also submitted so many authority sites and none been accepted. there's clearly something wrong in DMOZ...
I agree that dmoz is having something wrong. And in this thread we have seen many proof of these wrongs.
You submit your site, it won't be listed. But you pay the Editors in freelancer sites, you will be listed for sure as the above proofs.
Its really a two way streak is it not? I also can not prove that ALL of the links in the ODP are not paid. Are you saying that because I can not pove that there are no unpaid listings in the ODP that those too don't exist? I did say that I can not prove they are real, but take that for what it is... POSITIVE FEED BACK for COMPLETED TRANSACTIONS from MULTIPLE people for MULTIPLE sites. So again, another dmoz supporter slapping the obvious in the face... why? Got something to hide? Its certainly evidence of corruption, and evidence has to be worth something, right? What do you have to back up there are no paid listings? Anonymously's posts claiming I'm lying? LOL. You'll have to try a LOT harder then that. Now again, WHAT DO YOU WANT AS PROOF? I keep asking that, yet no one is willing to give me an answer... and no, I am not going to waste my own hard earned cash just to prove something that's all over every single freelance link building site.
