    I was going through voting on sites and noticed a friends site was flagged as pornography,
    http://domain.opendns.com/viper007bond.com. It is a technology blog by a very well respected web developer and contributor to the open source WordPress project. He is also an employee of Automattic the company that runs WordPress.com.

    The same user http://community.opendns.com/user/1009261 has added this site for pornography, nudity, sexuality, lingerie, and adult themed when obviously it is not. Is this just how the system work where a domain is added for all categories then voted on or was it randomly addded?

    Not sure if you and I are looking at the same page.

    http://domain.opendns.com/viper007bond.com shows it has been approved for BLOGS, rejected for ADULT THEMES and PORNOGRAPHY, and is awaiting votes for ADULT THEMES, LIGERIE, etc.

    There are numerous instances where trolls tag sites irresponsibly, and perhaps this is one such instance. You can do your part to combat such fools by voting appropriately when you get the chance (and to help other sites by going here http://community.opendns.com/domaintagging/ ).

    Regardless, your friend's site is not blocked under any of the routine 'adult' filters.

    We say it again: this site is *not* categorized other than "Blogs". So, what do you complain about? :angry:

    I have reviewed the tags for the domain (http://domain.opendns.com/viper007bond.com) and all appears to be correct at this time.

    The domain viper007bond.com is only tagged as Blogs in the OpenDNS Domain Tagging system at this time.

    @c3mdigital,

    I went ahead and rejected for "Nudity", "Sexuality", and "Lingerie/Bikini", as they don't accurately depict the content of the site.

    Not sure why it was tagged, maybe this Moderator uploaded a flawed list?
    This issue appears resolved.

    Thank you everyone. I was asking why this particular user with moderator status add and flag the site as adult. I knew none of the tags had been approved and the site wasn't being blocked.

    Also noticed lots of other sites user http://community.opendns.com/user/1009261 tagged as adult but were not. I was just wondering if this was a standard practice but realize it is not.

    Perhaps it was the "articles" with porn warnings? http://google.com/search?q=viper007bond.com+porn "This one contains swearing and discussion of porn, so be careful if you're at work and have your speakers on. ;)"
