Thread: Some of those editors ...

Very interesting read Mike and typical of what is going on in DMOZ these days.

When I was an Editall/Catmv I spent my time editing, and not in the various forums.

I really got a kick out of

WOW, I think Mack just pulled a Wayne, my real estate partner is turning into a second me. I have to agree with him however and DMOZ is a waste of time and it wont be long till they end up in court. From my understanding the National Association of Realtors is looking to go after them from the use of the term Realtor within their descriptions for some of the real estate listings.

NAR is the last group they want to go against. I for one will look forward to them being put to bed. Most editors in dmoz are no better than anyone else but because of the so called preceived power they believe they have it is abused. I personally believe they should all get a life. Maybe when I have some free time I will sue them, just for the hell of it.

I have seen the NAR thread on DMOZ forums. Interested what will happen.

I have applied for a greenbuster on some category that has submissions in queu for a long time already, and they didn't approve me because of little experience. Experience for GREENBUSTING! I think I know what is going on....

And why would an Editall no longer be an editor?

What gets me is that there are editors out there whose sites contain the same kind of content which has kept me from being included before. I had pages with affilliate links and not enough "unique content" and some of them are doing the same. If you are too stressed, don't take the job. Unique content is also a very vague term. If you have never seen the content before, it could still be ripped off from another site that never got submitted to DMOZ. "Your site will NEVER get in" was the arrogant response I used to get until an editor contacted me thru another forum and cleared some things up.

I would like the DMOZ editors to start showing their own sites to lead by example

Actually, Editall/Catmv, (mackm)

After a prolonged medical recovery (broken neck & fusion), I went to log in, and was locked out.

And yes, I did request a reinstatement.

And no, I did not receive an answer.

And no, I did not have my login revoked due to improper behavior.

Any yes, I was once accused by my detractors of

EditorWatch,

And now, if you would be so kind as to answer my question please.

What did I say in the thread http://resource-zone.com/forum/showt...ighlight=vegas that could possibly be used as a legitimate reason for an editor to remove my site www.vegas4sale.net from the directory?

~VegasMack

Your site was listed, then removed (but left to be reviewed again) as the agent name did not appear on the site. At that time it was in Agents

Probably explained in here - but I'm too lazy to read it ---- http://dmoz.org/guidelines/regional/realestate.html

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)
