Some of those editors ...

Later on another editor looked again, and decided it has been misfiled and should be in Agencies and it awaits being reviewed there.

So not banned, not blacklisted, and the person who unreviewed it has never been seen at RZ. In fact it had been delisted long before that thread was started in RZ. (I didn't read that RZ thread, I avoid dealing with real estate)

Thank you for checking EditorWatch; however I believe your dates are off. The site was still listed a day or two before, and unlisted soon after the thread. This was observed by drilling down in the directory, not doing a search. Wayne noted the fact that it was listed prior to his initiating the thread to check on his personal sites status.

Yes I am familiar with http://dmoz.org/guidelines/regional/realestate.html and I was at ODP during the reorganization of the Real Estate categories and thier transfer from Business to Regional. At the time I objected strongly to one of the largest industries in the Nation being removed from Business, but I have a feeling you are already aware of that.

The site was, and still is within ODP Guidelines. It is the ONLY Las Vegas real estate site that I own and maintain that I submitted to ODP. All content is original.

The site was at the time a Team Site, All Pro Realtors Team, therefore no Agent would have been listed. It is now a Team site for Advanced VIP Team with Century 21, and no Agent is listed on it still.

Thank you again for the courtesy of checking into it and promptly responding in a professional manner.

Thought I would chime in a little. I can confirm that the site was listed prior to the thread that I started, is a matter of fact I believe I have a snapshot of it somewhere on my system. As Vegasmack stated, I was checking on my site and noticed that the site in question here had been removed when I stated that the person who submitted my site was an editall once for dmoz and I felt knew the guidelines for such a submit.

Editing of the real estate section in dmoz imo has been terrible. To many real estate agents or webmasters who manage real estate sites handling those sections.

I have personally had a few sites that have not been placed into dmoz. Some sites have been waiting to be listed for over 3 years now. I got tired of trying so I stop trying.

Preach on my brother preach on. You bring up great points. I personally have never thought of that only 185 sites yet we know that Las Vegas is one of the biggest markets in the country for real estate on the internet.

To say that DMOZ was corrupt would be wrong, but saying that DMOZ is overlooking corruption is pretty accurate.

It's not what you know, but ... well ... we all know the story all too well
