---- DMOZ Submit / Resubmit / Submit Again Issue Revisited - Again

The big issue I've run into is apparently you're not suppose to submit your site to multiple categories. But then, if its not listable in one category and that's where I first submitted it, is it now flagged globally as unlistable? Moreover, am I suppose to now NOT resubmit it to those other categories that someone might find it more applicable for?

If anyone in DMOZ is listening - the whole concept is just so f**'ed up!

Frankly I love the idea that dmoz SHOULD use a nofollow tag on links. Currently dmoz has way too much pull on search rankings, and clearly the system is flawed, biased, and corrupt.

One could argue these user policies are necessary to deal with spam. I would argue the spam wouldn't be an issue if you used nofollow tags. Then, dmoz has no search rankings pull for anyone and this whole issue just goes away. Then I don't have to give a sh** if dmoz is screwed up or doesn't review my site for whatever reason; its there loss at that point (as it should be) ... not mine!
