Is there an open ODP forum?
I just posted my concerns of the conflict of interest between so-called unpaid ODP editors moonlighting as SEO consultants on the http://www.resource-zone.com/ forum.
Ettore R. Peyrot, an "unpaid" ODP Meta Editor/SEO consultant censored the comments. He deleted the message. I dont blame him. That is the way ODP editors react to criticism. His behavior is totally consistent with other ODP editors. If he knew my sites, he would probably blacklist the sites. My question is: Is there a popular ODP discussion forum in which ODP editors do not have the authority to delete messages critical of the shabby job that they are doing on their so called Open Directory Project? Is there a forum in which comments about their conflict of interests can be exposed? Is there a forum in which a discussion can occur to discuss how people who spend thousands of hours on websites are summarily ignored or inclusion denied because of some arbitrary decision of a socalled unpaid editor on one side, but the same editor is using ODP confidential information to give their customers a competitive advantage on the other side? Thanks Ettore I expected nothing less! |

Just for the record, there is no confidential information to give to clients. All rules are in the guidelines. Nothing special can be done to get any advantage. Also for the record, I am an editor, and not an SEO consultant. Just so you don't start accusing me of anything. |

There are no internal forums? I know that there are. I have seen some of them. Are there forums not accessible to the non Meta editor but accessible to Meta editors? I believe that there are. If Ettore R. Peyrot has access to those forums and he is taking on SEO clients, then all ODP users should have access to them.
Otherwise, there is a severe conflict of interest. If those forums are accessible to the outside ODP community, then I am wrong and I owe the Meta editors an apology. |

All internal forums are for discussing policy, guidelines, new editor questions, and things like that. No, the public cannot access those forums, just as I cannot access the personal info for your website. Editors are not even allowed to ask about their own sites in those forums. We are required to go to resource zone just like everyone else. I have never seen anyone, including metas, get special privilages for their sites, let alone a clients site.
