    open this while under openDNS (image is explicit). When tagged, the image is changed to a non-offensive one. Are you aware of this obvious attempt to escape positive tagging?

    Are you also aware that images may still show up even under the openDNS umbrella?

    Also, I captured a screenshot of the openDNS page showing the changed image.

    Thats what it's for, are you aware there are literally billions of sites. But only 3.5 million submitted @ OpenDNS, out of those 856 thousand decided by the community. Without votes a submission is useless, power through numbers, so spread the word. :)

    BTW sites change homepages all the time, even having rotating pages. I doubt anyone is yet to engineer a site to deceive OpenDNS domain taggers especially when you just submitted them in the last few minutes. The web cam is a portal that was setup via that idiot not understanding HTML cutting and pasting code to build a site. That stolen code put a portal or backdoor on. IE the programmer gets paid one way or another. Stolen example = affiliate points, credits, etc

    Point is, the image got through. I don't care how stupid the programming was (in fact, it is clever programming to circumvent blocking and possibly even the tagging). The URL used to access the site isn't the same as the address reported by openDNS. So that same URL gets reported as a false positive.

    Get it, now? :)

    I have screenshots showing how it's done.

    Then submit the domain.

    Tell people to vote on it.

    No product or service will magically block everything. if it is a serious concern for you, I'd suggest a layered defense including some blocking/parental control software. There are lots of free and low-cost solutions, particularly for Windows users.

    OpenDNS doesn't care about the URL any of the /****?****/***.**** after the tld. All it uses is the domain name IE Sub.Domain.TLD not Sub.Domain.TLD/url/urls.xml

    The Link you posted:
    http://www.beckstudio.com/webcam/index.html = URL
    If you are so upset by it send an e-mail to the webmaster, hosting company: https://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=66.206.15.95

    The Domains
    http://www.beckstudio.com/ & http://beckstudio.com/ are the same page two differnt images Check the page source (html code) ctrl+u in FF

    Nothing has been done to circumvent blocking or tagging. This is an artist's website any they want more exposure for their work. NOT a devious scam to fool the tiny percentage of web surfers using OpenDNS content filtering.

    BTW That is not Pornography http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pornography
    wether it is Adult I doubt it their are plenty of works showing as much or more in museums. That plenty of the under 17 crowd see every day.

    If the works are in a museum it is not pornography or adult content it is art. Learn the difference between art and the pornography/adult content before condemning something that is art as pornography or adult content. Also I would consider the url that mdoc is talking about as adult content, but not beckstudio.com in general. To determine what is art and what is pornography/adult content think about what the artist's intent is.

    I'm not upset. I posted this for your benefit, and I'm going to forget about this, because you're still not seeing the point: despite the blocking, the image got through for children to see. Everything else I said doesn't really matter. I'm not going to submit the domain or anything else. You've had your chance.

    >>I posted this for your benefit<<

    Not sure whose benefit you are referring to.

    Anyway, that page does display adult ads which come from http://promo.cams.com linking to http://cams.com - and that is the domain that needs to be submitted as adult, not beckstudio.com (Mr. Beck may not even realize he has an iframe with adult pictures in it and even if he does, the images do not come from his domain but from cams.com).

    I suggest you just blacklist cams.com and even submit it to the adult category or any other category you feel it belongs to.

    >>I'm not going to submit the domain or anything else. You've had your chance.<<

    Aren't you a bit arrogant here? Who had whose chance? And a chance to do what exactly?

    There is a domain *you* don't like, but you expect other people to submit it? Everyone in this discussion is an OpenDNS user, just like you. We are your peers, not your servants, and none of us works for OpenDNS. If you do not like a domain, it is up to you to submit it.

    Actually, the posted link

    http://www.beckstudio.com/webcam/index.html

    goes to a page with an Iframe loading the following porn site

    promo.cams.com/promo/camgirlsliveiframe.jsp?pid=g754779-po&no_click=1&Num=3&NN&BGColor=FFFF80&TextColor=000000&LinkColor=0000EE

    The following is from the page

    <title>Women Home Alone - Instant Action | Live Adult Webcam</title>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta name="language" content="en-us" />
    <meta name="description" content="Who is Online Now? - Women Home Alone - Live Adult Webcam" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="Adult, Personals, Dating, Personal Ads, Online, Service, Sex Date,webcam,webcams,web,cams,cam,webcamsex,sex,online,video,chat,live,online,interactive" />


    The main site does not even list this page on its sitemap.

    That's why I said that the posted link was adult content and should be blocked.
