Eventually the dmoz editors developed a fortress mentality, actively trying to fend off the hordes of spammers, scammers, sploggers, and the occasional legitimate business owner. The "open" in "open streetmap" will become a liability, under the clutter of unverifiable submissions from business that have no physical reality that is either relevant or verifiable. -- Perhaps all online businesses can all be put on a island in the Antarctic. -- A business that a second mapper can't verify exists (with a sign or mailbox entry) I strongly feel must be excluded.
