>> submit in all categories they think it might possibly be accepted to. Then when its not accepted a month later, they will submit it again. How many people who have a website to promote are really going to sit around studying these fine points of the DMOZ world? <<

We call those sots of people "spammers", though that doesn't really apply until it is quite a few submissions in quite a few categories. They are making extra work for editors.

However, editors would not go out of their way to penalise a site that had submitted in just several categories, but there is a danger that in deleting the extra submissions that all of them get deleted by accident.

The model is very simple. It just seems that people deliberately go out of their way to misunderstand it. We think that it works in the way common sense would dictate.

Would you come to webmasterworld and post the same question in 10 different categories and think that was reasonable behaviour? The same applies over there, too.
