When these problems have been detected by “Robozilla”, it changes the status of the troubled listings to the “unrevieved queue”. Thus the links are no longer active on the public directory keeping it nice and fresh.

This will create a huge influx of websites to be put back into the editors queue. Everyone knows it takes for ever to get your site listed in Dmoz but this will make it impossible.

The vast majority of Dmoz editors have either quit years ago when the directory lost popularity, only ever became an editor to get their own sites listed or are dodgy and using their DMOZ editor status to make loads of money from people willing to pay for a fast listing.

DMOZ have to either lighten up and accept a lot more editorial requests or let the directory listings get old and stale, either way it will be obsolete soon IMO.
