expired domains in DMOZ not created equal

[holycow]

hello pals

I have been watching some expiring domains and if DMOZ has a system in place for getting rid of the ones expiring I find it very strange that some domains do not get taken out of the directory. Is it because someone who is an editor is bidding on that domain or are their other reasons? I am not sure and hate to jump to conclusions but it does seem strange to me that some expiring domains immediately get taken out of DMOZ and others stay in DMOZ.

I think DMOZ try to remove all expired domains it may be possible that they have missed some. Nobody is perfect
If you know of any expired domains that are still listed you can report them. There are 2 possibilities to do so.

1) go to the category the site is listed in and click the "update listing" link at the top of the page. In the reason field tell us the site is expired. Update requests are normaly processed within a few days.

2) go to Resource Zone (seems I am not allowed to either post working urls or the the full text of r-z , you will have to combine "resource - zone dot com" and put the http in front) . In "Quality Control Feedback" you can report situations like this.

DMOZ will welcome such things
