Deletion from DMOZ - enemies in action?

kit · 2005-11-29, 11:20 AM

I found the reason. One of the DMOZ editors helped me. The editor, who deleted my site, is named Jezebel. This is a deletion note:

Notes: Although this site is quite heavy on content (pictures etc) all links I tried were affiliate links. It is also connected to penisbot.com which has been unlistable (rednoted) here for a long time.

So the deletion turned out to be a result of my request to restore PenisBot.com in DMOZ listing. 4 Years ago, it has been deleted and blacklisted due to some multi-posting issue. We made AVS sites for multiple AVS-systems and submitted them to related AVS categories. I think I atoned my guilt long time ago.

There was another reason mentioned : "links I tried were affiliate links".

1) We have dozens of non-commercial reviews, like als-scan, fleshbot, literotica:

http://www.porninspector.com/reviews/review/literotica/
http://www.porninspector.com/reviews/review/als-scan/

2) http://dmoz.org/Adult/Computers/Inte...Sites/Reviews/
Review sites usually review the sites that have affiliate programs. You can easily find another "too commercial" sites there.

After appealing for rehabilitation of Penisbot, I've got PornInspector.com deleted instead, just because I'm the owner of PenisBot.com

You're getting shafted - thats my opinion on your situation

There are some very old networks in this biz. People should think before pissing someone off.

You shouldn't have site "B" deleted because you made a mistake with site "A" some years back.

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?

Google needs to stop using DMOZ.

We would be better off if DMOZ became useless and just died.

All DMOZ provides now is a level of corruption in the form of a relevant super backlink used by editors as a slight edge.

Kit - I am not sure if your situation has been resolved.

If you go up the chain you will see all of the individuals who have permission to edit your category. To date that would be gigi, hotpink, hudson, jezebel, wilky, debbiejr, and peterrobson. You can find the information at the bottom of this page: http://dmoz.org/Adult/

Also, there is a message board for questions related to DMOZ which is run by the editors. Go to http://www.resource-zone.com/. There is an Adult section and you have to request a password.

Jezebel happens to be the meta-Editor for the Adult section. I would definitely contact Jezebel directly and state your concerns.

In addition to Resource Zone another link to have handy is http://report-abuse.dmoz.org/. If you believe an editor etc. is abusing his/her privileges this would be the place to start.

I hope this helps and best of luck.
