Meta pvgool Posted May 9, 2005 Meta Posted May 9, 2005 1. How soon can I resubmit? 2. Where can I post a complaint about dmoz.org? 1) Never. Atleast not with the currect content. 2) If you want to report abuse: see http://dmoz.org/help/geninfo.html#abuse . But keep in mind: not listing a site is not abuse. On the other hand the suggestions you have done for this and related sites is. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Tiberiux Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 Suggestions? Dear pvgool, To the best of my knowledge I am the one and only webmaster for the website. I have submitted once and only once to the category I mentioned and to only that category. It sounds as though you have received multiple suggestions for my site. If so, they have been done maliciously to hinder our efforts for dmoz listing. Further, the site I have suggested is similar yet offers superior content to the other sites currently listed in this category. I understand dmoz.org doesn't have any obligation to list any site but your goal (perhaps your about page is misleading) is to become the definitive directory of the web. With this goal in mind, should you not therefore strive to improve your directory? My site offers more original content and is more useful than many other sites in the category. This is not simply my opinion, this is reality. I understand there might be minor things in my site that might be against listing policies. However, these things are of minor importance even to your credo and I think nitpicking small flaws and stopping listing is more harmful than it is beneficial to your directory. I understand you want to save time and effort by not reviewing multiple suggestions, may I suggest that you strive to work with actual webmasters so that malicious suggesting and multiple suggestions don't happen. I think this would save webmasters as well as dmoz editors alot of grief. P.S. You say "...this and related sites...". This is the only site I have submitted and I have submitted it only once.
Meta pvgool Posted May 9, 2005 Meta Posted May 9, 2005 My site offers more original content and is more useful than many other sites in the category. This is not simply my opinion, this is reality. Seems the reviewing editors (more than one has looked at the site ; and I wasn't one of them but after looking at the site I agree with them) did have an other opinion / reality. We have marked more sites with the same content and even some using the same company name. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Meta hutcheson Posted May 9, 2005 Meta Posted May 9, 2005 Note that from our point of view, we care about the company the website represents--that is, the one actually providing the goods and services offered on the website. We don't care who the webmaster is -- it could be an employee, contractor, independent agent, whatever. The company is expected to provide a page that allows surfers to navigate to all of its content, and we'd link to that.
