Re: Please help with DMOZ
@williampc
To explain it to you from my point of view William, I offered my opinion as a response to gaurav061081's request for assistance - that someone "suggest ... the reason" that his sites don't get listed.
As a DMOZ editor I do this with some frequency, particularly when English is not the requester's first language. I try to be helpful when I can be, even though my understanding of DMOZ remains imperfect. Usually the reasons for a website's lack of inclusion are fairly clear, and, those I've communicated with will better understand the reasoning of the Directory editors, even if they sometimes don't agree with it.
Clearly I can't and don't pretend to speak for all the editors of DMOZ. Even when editing my own small part of the project my judgment ( or opinion if you prefer ) is subject to being overruled by several levels of DMOZ editors looking over my shoulder. Nevertheless, politely worded requests for information from submitters to the ODP still usually get a response from me, and my responses are generally appreciated.
