How long DMOZ will be approv you site - Page 2

DMOZ is bizarre. I have a relatively significant site which DMOZ does not list. I submitted a few times and back when they had a forum to discuss it, I asked why my site was still not listed.

DMOZ said that in the category that I was going for, they would not accept subscription sites. I answered:
- there were 19 sites in that directory at the time, 7 were paid subscription sites.
- That as a policy, I felt paid sites for kids were much better since they were advertising free (and I think my six year old deserves her education without a commercial message).

The DMOZ guy who was in charge of my category told me that "that's your opinion" and now, after five years, I'm now number one in google for dozens of categories, a multimillion dollar business, and serving thousands of children. And DMOZ still doesn't list me. DMOZ is a series of corrupt little fiefdoms. Forget them.

I have to agree with you here. Is anyone on here a DMOZ editor that would kike to defend DMOZ. I have been trying to get my main site listed for over a year but to no avail. I have a feeling one of our competition is the editor of the categories relevent to us and can just click the delete button to remove all traces of our listing request.

When you say "trying", what have you been doing? Have you suggested more than once? How do you think any directory (DMOZ or other) should treat those who deliberatly flout the guidelines? You have only been putting yourself at a disadvantage by sugesting more than once.
