@nic:
I truly am sorry your experience at RZ wasn't any better.  Honestly I didn't see much that wasn't positive in that discussion.  There were a few posts that for whatever reason didn't come across the way I believe they were intended and thats sad.  For your members and yourself, there is a spin off forum located at

http://www.dummies-guide-to-dmoz.org/phpbb2/

which is administrated/moderated by current and former editors that may be useful.  Note, neither RZ or DGTD are official extensions of dmoz but rather unofficial forums moderated by some of the volunteer editors.  I more frequently visit RZ, mainly because DGTD has just been established and there are still things that need worked out but I have on occasion managed a few posts over there.  They both are trying (I think) to accomplish the same things but going about it from different angles.  I won't say which one is best because I think it depends on the questions being asked and who is responding but it may be a fresh view of things if you want to try.

@blue you misquoted me as usual-  That's 50% pretend-meta. (just a funnier way of saying I am not a real meta just play one in Regional)

WTF Another secret society???

It is possible to find out what is inside that private chat area - all you have to do is become an editor.  (Consider it a recruitment tool )

Of course, if the only reason that you become an editor is to find out what's in the private chat area - then I can guarantee you'll be very disappointed.

It was just an alternative suggestion for those who haven't found much use for RZ.  If one wants to try and get some more information and RZ isn't working for them this is an alternative.  As I mentioned, DGTD is just getting started and see a couple of things that steer me personally in other directions at this point but the underlying principal is to help from a different angle than RZ currently does.  The administrators and moderators there (both the current and former editors) all have earned my respect for their abilities, knowledge and character.  Hopefully there efforts will help some that need it.

Thanks for the update Blue

from what I hear there is so much corruption there that is it worth bothering with??

I have submitted sites YEARS ago and they never get listed. Plus for another site I type in the keyword, they appear THREE times in the first two pages
