justred asked 4 years agoI am probably opening an old can of worms here but the DMOZ listings for gambling has largely decended into a farce. I applied 8 months ago to become an editor of one small category but was told there are already too many editors in the whole gambling category.
I have been watching it regularly and I am happy to reports that in six months, DMOZ have added…………wait for it………………….ONE site to the guides category. Wow, these editors must be working hard. And the quality of the sites there are sooooo good. My three year old is better at running a website then most of the clowns listed there (except of course for some of the folk that deserve to be there).
It’s a bloody joke. It just smells to bad.

I hope the SE will soon figure out how bad some of the DMOZ picks are.

People deeply involved in monetary goals.
Maybe for non commercial sites they still deserve some credit.

Then I scrolled down and clicked on some of the others sites… have to wonder exactly what their criteria is these days.

Saw this on SEW: Is DMOZ really that great?
And finally from a previous editor: Sorry, Can’t Help Any More People – Kicked out as Editor
Everyone is full of speculation, they are huge and run by humans, there are bound to be issues with the sudden growth of the directory and loss of many of its editors. Hopefully they recover, but it will probably take them being bought by someone else for that to happen.
