Cheeky begger!
Can you believe it....some person just tried to sell me a position on DMOZ.org for $120 (priority listing)...

This is completly illegal, and part of the editor TOS dis-allows this. I have reported him to the appropriate people at DMOZ, but I stil couldn't believe he tried it on!

Andy,

I can place your site in Dmoz permanately in the hosting section with a excellent description, but for a fee. This category is getting crowded and I was told not to add additional sites. I am making exceptions but for people who will pay. If you are willing it will be $120. You can do it through paypal. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dmoz Editor

Ok, so maybe not Illegal, but definatly against their TOS. It goes completly against their idea of an 'open' directory Crazy

Just a question, but are you sure he was a dmoz editor? Could just be a simple scam.

I'm not sure, but I got a reply from DMOZ, and they said they would look into it, as it was completly inappropriate.

Cheers
