Lets get something straight.. there is no "situation" to be resolved
Just because Kit thinks his site belongs in DMOZ - does not make it a fact or certainty.
How to suggest a site to the Open Directory

Please recognize that making the ODP a useful resource requires us to exercise broad editorial discretion in determining the content and structure of the directory. That discretion extends (but is not limited) to what sites to include, where in the directory sites are placed, whether and when to include more than one link to a site, when deep linking is appropriate, and the content of the title and description of the site. In addition, a site's placement in the directory is subject to change or deletion at any time at our sole discretion. You should not rely on any aspect of a site's inclusion in the directory. Please understand that an editor's exercise of discretion may not always treat all submissions equally. You may not always agree with our choices, but we hope you recognize that we do our best to make fair and reasonable decisions.

Sorry Doc, but that is not true... There is ALWAYS lengthy discussion on the criteria for inclusion and exclusion for all types of sites, be they adult or non-adult.

Another completely unfounded sweeping generalisation - so often extolled by people that have never been a DMOZ editor.

More unfounded bullshit... - again an opinion so often extolled by people that have never been a DMOZ editor.

Good to see you are disproving your own generalisations.
There IS still spammy stuff in DMOZ.. without question... AND the present Adult editors work most days to rid DMOZ of crap like that.. Dont blame current editors for the system they inherited.

- Nice one Kit... care to let us know who the editor was that gave you that privileged information.?

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story Kit...

Pissed off or not DMOZ editors aren't suppose to treat the directories like their own personal link list
You're not suppose to become a editor just to list your own shit and to maintan a edge over your competition..
But let's face the facts - why else would anybody do it?

More unsupported generalisations and assumptions based on board roumours..
Site deletions or additions are
subject to change or deletion at any time at our sole discretion. This is the guidelines that you agree to at the time of submission!
Lets face facts... you have no idea what you are talking about.
