Agreed entirely. The only problem here, as Vipul stated, was due to a back-end bug this domain became irrevocable and immune to the reports of the day. That's bad. Of course, it does still disturb me that 237 trusted users reported this domain. I'd find it surprising that any decent number of people were blindly signed up for this without ever visiting the site. Sure, I can see some bored teenager signing their fat math teacher up as an immature gag, but really. 237 trusted reporters got signed up for this domain by a malicious 3rd party? I find the explanation of someone stupidly filling out a web form without looking at the checkboxes significantly more plausible. In my heart, I know that's probably par for the course, but I do always find it disturbing how often people blame others for their own faults. (such as giving a website their email address without looking at the check-boxes below it that say "Yes, subscribe me to..". Clearly one should be a little more careful than that.) Fortunately, razor does correctly handle such realities, and understands how to mark a domain as contested. Except when its broken. Then we need a little intervention to fix things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
