The editors represent the heart and soul of this project. On occasion, however, we are forced to remove editors for a variety of reasons. Editor removal is left up to the discretion of DMOZ Staff. In some instances it may not be necessary to remove an editor's privileges in full. In such cases editing privileges to individual categories may be removed.
Meta editors have the ability to remove an editor's categories.
The consequences of violating the guidelines can range from a warning to immediate loss of editing privileges. This standard is intended to make clear that editors are expected to read the guidelines and to make a good faith effort to follow them. Editors are expected to respond to guidance received from other editors, relating to conduct that deviates from the guidelines. While not every guidelines violation is equally serious, whenever an editor repeatedly violates a standard or consistently acts without regard for the guidelines as a whole, that editor risks losing editing privileges. This directory is a cooperative, group effort.
