This made me lol:

Hello!

We received a request to list your site http://www.somefuckingwebsiteyouhave.org to DMOZ.
Please provide a temporary username/password for accessing the site.

Thank you!

Best regards, Alex

Yeah ok then i'd love to give you free site access!

It is normal to receive such emails from dmoz editors. They need to review your site prior of approving it.
I am a dmoz editor too and I can confirm that requesting temporary access username/password is not forbidden, but encouraged.
But maybe you received this email without submitting yoru site to DMOZ?

Project-Shadow · 07-22-2009, 11:03 AM

LOL, funny thing is I used to send out the same e-mail (but I was actually a DMOZ editor) unless you've submitted it tell em to stuff it ;)

livesexoncams · 07-22-2009, 01:15 PM

So I don't understand why you consider it SPAM anyway? Probably you don't want your site being listed.

That's a very wise statement! Traffic from dmoz is insignificant, but the value of the link is very important, for sure.

Ok quick question,

If it was a VOD or Cam site, how do you provide the login? Give them some free credit to try out or something?

Not being funny but can't see the point of giving someone a login with no credits to such sites.

Another thing, the editors have to use their own email address?

Yes, you should provide a temporary access details to the editor to be able to review the members area. I don't understand why it sounds so wired to you.
Yes, the editors have to use their own email addresses as dmoz does not offer them other email addresses.

Well, it's not so much wierd. but almost pointless of loging in to a VOD site or Camsite if you cannot do anything there as such.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up
