DMOZ abuse
 
From our point of view, submittal is not ... anything you think it is. It isn't a request, it isn't a requirement, it isn't a listing. It is just a suggestion: a memo to make sure we don't overlook a site. And one reminder is enough.
 
 

DMOZ Myths:

  • listing service - other Directories provide that service for free and paid.
  • no editor
  • corruption
  • characterization of DMOZ to be something that it is not - then attack that characterization
  • 66000
  • no email
  • reason for refusal
