Major news from this Dmoz editor!

Okay, so to all two non-Dmoz editors that have read my blog, lol. Of course I've done a lot of blog editing lately. It seems that I might have breeched ODP communication guidelines during Dmoz's server break. Of course that wasn't my intention, but a few bad choices on my part. Information that I thought wouldn't harm Dmoz or that people couldn't use in a malicious way against it I thought was okay to post. Wrong choice, and I accept full responsibility for it and the consequences that comes along with it. I didn't realize I was breeching ODP guidelines until Dec. 1^st and I edited my posts accordingly. Thing is that I didn't re-read all my post to make sure they were guidelines complaint. Probably wouldn't have mattered anyway since my fate had most likely already been sealed. Yep! You've gotten the right impression. I'm currently planning my ODP funeral.

Like my other posts, I'm going to be honest in how I feel. I realized on Dec. 1^st that my editor account would be in danger when I realized that I had potentially posted some information that shouldn't have been posted. I quickly deleted it and even drafted a good-bye post for when I get the official news from Dmoz. What? You haven't been officially removed from Dmoz, yet? Nope. Not yet, but I'm fully expecting it when Dmoz is up and running again. I'm sure if they could lock me out of my account now they would have done so already, or maybe they're waiting for more votes to remove me.

Either way, I fully expect to be removed as an editor for some of the things I said, but shouldn't have said, in this blog, and I hold no grudges against Dmoz. It's nothing personal against me (hopefully), it's just business, and I understand fully the consequences of my actions. At least I know I'm being removed for being ignorant of Dmoz communication guidelines and not being removed for being corrupt like some past Dmoz editors. How ironic that I mentioned in my previous post that new editors should know the communication guidelines inside-out.

It's my own fault, so I'm not making excuses or blaming anyone else because what I posted could have easily never been posted. So, I guess my evil plan for Dmoz take-over, err, moving up in the organization will have to come to an end. It was fun while it lasted. And, now it's just a waiting game. I wish they could remove me now and just get the agonizing wait over with. Also, I will take the knowledge of knowing what an affiliate is with me, lol. I don't know how else I'll use that knowledge, but it is good to know - I guess. Anyway, I'll post here again when it becomes official.

P.S. you're probably wondering how they are going to identify me since I don't use my editor name in my blog. Well, I did declare the blog in my affiliations, so it shouldn't be hard for them to identify me. So, I knew from the very beginning that Dmoz knew I was the editor behind this blog, since it was something I've never tried to hide.
