Spamming

Spam occurs if identical content is submitted to the same category multiple times, if one content is submitted to multiple inappropriate categories, or if a submission otherwise violates our Submission Policies or disrupts Open-site. Our goal is keep the Open Site as spam-free as possible, and editors' alertness to spam is crucial to achieving that goal.

Sites that repeatedly or persistently spam the directory will be blocked from submission, and their sites may be removed from the directory. Sites affiliated with known spammers may also be removed from the directory and/or blocked from submission. If you notice repeat spam in your category, you may write to the submitter explaining our policies. You may also direct them to our submission guidelines to clarify any confusion. If you choose to write the submitter, be sure that you are polite and courteous in your mail. Profanity and vulgar language in email to submitters is inappropriate, as are threats. Please be sure you make it clear in your communication that you are not a representative of Open-Site staff.

Meta editors can be contacted in order to assist regarding blocking abusive submissions.
