Can you described the process DMOZ uses to prevent this from happening?
No I can't in any detail, as most of the processes used internally at DMOZ are not supposed to be made public, but there are plenty of checks and balances in place. Given that >200 editors an edit in each category and what editors do is avaliable for any editor to see and question, the chances of it happening a very remote. There is an abuse reporting system in place - almost all cases reported there are found to have no substance, so from that point of view, editors are not denying compeitors sites.

Still waiting for new information ....
I am still waiting for you to produce the evidence. As repeated requests for this have gone unanswered, it is clear that you just made it up. Why did you do that?
