>>Building a site like this in the hope of quick traffic and quick profit is not something the ODP supports

What? Why in the hell should ODP care about why a site was created? If the site has good and original content it should be listed without regard to the motive behind creating the site.

Arbitrary editor decisions like this one is the reason I don't even bother submitting sites to ODP.

Mbennie, forget about ODP and work on acquiring quality inbound links. After all, ODP has no original content, it's a just a compilation of links. If they followed their own guidelines ODP couldn't list itself...

>>The site in question was not providing unique content.

If that's the case reject the site on those grounds, don't drag in the motives behind the creation of the site or the speed in which the site was created. I've seen groups of writers and devs crank out high quality sites in three days.
