dmoz's editor removal procedures are overseen by dmoz's staff and meta-editors. according to dmoz's official editorial guidelines, editors are removed for abusive editing practices or uncivil behaviour. discussions that may result in disciplinary action against volunteer editors take place in a private forum which can only be accessed by dmoz's staff and meta editors. volunteer editors who are being discussed are not given notice that such proceedings are taking place. some people find this arrangement distasteful, wanting instead a discussion modeled more like a trial held in the u.s. judicial system.
