Download list of undecided domains
Hi, is there a way to get a list in a csv format or similar of a category of undecided domains.
I also noticed that many domains are not even active any more.
It would be easy to run a script on them and the vote on the active ones if such a list is provided.

Unless you know how to handle downloads from https://community.opendns.com/domaintagging by using e.g. cURL, no there is no special download feature for CSV files or so available. And unfortunately it is not denoted if a domain is still active. You had to find out yourself, also with a batch using e.g. cURL.

HI again. I did just that this morning and found some very interesting info.
In total there were 1575 entries in the Pornography(64) category but when sorted that dropped down to 972.
Even more interesting is that the latest entry was in 2014-04-24 (http://allsubs.org|810478|B|2014-04-24|1398297600)
Why the duplicates and WHY so old?

Weird, in domain tagging they show 560194. Your research is most likely faulty, and you didn't catch them all.
"Even more interesting is that the latest entry was in 2014-04-24"
Well, I have submitted domains much later. Just two examples:
http://domain.opendns.com/sassycamz.com
http://domain.opendns.com/fairytailhentaidb.com"Why the duplicates and WHY so old?"
This can be answered by OpenDNS staff only.

I checked your two examples against the list I have. They are not there BUT they are blocked so it makes sense to assume that the list is for undecided domains only. The page does say "Show undecided domains"
Picking something obvious like http://hotpussypics.com is in the list but its blocked by opendns?
I don't think the list is kept updated?

"BUT they are blocked" - Oops, sorry, you're are right. I wasn't aware that they have been approved in between.
"Picking something obvious like http://hotpussypics.com is in the list but its blocked by opendns?"
Yes, you're right again.
https://domain.opendns.com/hotpussypics.comThis looks like a bug. You may want to report more details via a support ticket to OpenDNS.
"I don't think the list is kept updated?"
Certainly not manually, but automatically, and small glitches may have cumulated over time. It seems they need to run a correction program over the database.
Such a correction program could do at least the following:
- Eliminate all (decided and undecided) domains which are no longer in DNS and are no longer registered, also from user blacklists and whitelists
- Eliminate all undecided categories from domains submitted back longer than a certain time, e.g. a year or two
- Eliminate all undecided domains which cannot be voted on, like hotpussypics.com
- Eliminate all duplicate undecided domains within the same category (if this case exists at all)
- Update the total counters, also per category
