says: "submitting the same URL more than once is not permitted" however, there are many sites with multiple listings. Obviously something is wrong here
There are 1000's of sites with mutiple DMOZ listngs. What is wrong with that? It is within the guidelines. Editors will list a site in more than one category if they think the quality of the content is worth it.

I don't see the purpose of even trying to submit to dmoz. If you want to give it a shot, go ahead, but it´s obvious that you´re totally at the mercy of the editors
Why is there no point? It only takes a matter of minutes to do so. It costs nothing. Submit and forget. Yes you are at the mercy of an editor - its a human edited directory!!! If yo do not want to be at the mercy of a human editor, go to another directory. If you have a really good site thats adds value to the category and are lucky, it may get listed even if you do not submit. I list more sites from searching google than from the pool of submitted sites

get one of our sites listed with them and it has now been almost 2-1/2 years....DMOZ - biggest joke on this earth.
I don't quite follow your logic either. How is it a big joke if your site is not listed? Surely it can't be the biggest joke on this earth - I know some really funny jokes - would you like to hear them?

They removed my editing rights because I was inactive for awhile....Alot of things went undone during this time period
If they were undone, maybe they weren't done right (ie guideline compliant) in the first place? Maybe when you reapplied, your previus edits were checked?Maybe that is why you never got reinstated or never heard back? (I have no inside info on this one)

When will the DMOZ whingers have some constructive to say?
