The Official Who's Dissapointed With the last Google update thread

I applied to be a DMOZ editor in the 'For Women' category a few months ago and got accepted, in spite of the fact that my main area in the biz is 'For Women'. Since then I have applied for other categories and been accepted.

One of the main things I have noticed is how hard DMOZ editors actually work, the job is enormous and they have to contend with cheats, spammers and massive queues of sites waiting to get listed. If you are wondering why your sites take so long to get get listed, I would imagine its because there are too many sites and not enough editors to do the job.

Want to get your sites listed faster? Then apply to become an editor and do it yourself. But before you can do that you must clean up the sites in front of you. Cos if you cheat you will get thrown out. In spite of all the things you might read about DMOZ, the editors in charge keep a close eye on what is going on and editors who cheat dont last too long. And if you find a site that breaks the rules, report it and it WILL get checked out.

If you dont have the time or the inclination to become an editor then stop whingeing and let the editors that are there do their job.
