budalata,
Thanks for adding some real data to the discussion. I don't believe I'm hijacking the forum, just expressing my answer to the original post question, and addressing subsequent criticism. If the process was open, would we need someone to post the question "Why Most DMOZ Submissions Are Rejected"? Wouldn't we have data?
When you say...
"Generaly, most of the editors applied for category, where they have interest in, some of them wanting to edit/list their own sites. "
Yes, that is what we generally surmise to be the case. It is interesting that many DMOZ defenders will not concede this truth.
People try in vain to get their site included, find that they can't get it included by submission, so eventually try to become an editor in the category covering their own site. Having gone through that effort, can you honestly say to us that those editors don't have an interest in excluding competitor sites?
