Should the ODP/DMOZ Use NoFollow Tags

I don't think so. The process required to be listed in the ODP negates the use of the nofollow attribute.

We all know that 95% of the submissions to the ODP are for the value it represents from an SE standpoint. While some of us use it one way, others use it another way. I'm going to guess the true value comes from the ODP clones that have managed to establish themselves as an authority in their space. And, from the fact that Google is using that data.

Human Edited content should not require use of the nofollow attribute. Also, the use/misuse of the nofollow attribute has really distorted things a bit. Talk about a misinterpretation of a guideline, whew!
