There are a number of redundant and unnecessary sub-domains that have been submitted and approved.
For example, there are tons of something.craigslist.com sub-domains that are tagged exactly like craigslist.com. Generally we want to keep the OpenDNS database clean from redundant entries.
In a discussion on the Moderator list it was the general consensus that we need the ability to mark domains and/or subdomains for deletion.
Perhaps it would work similar to how submitting domains works, only on a higher level. If two or three Moderators mark a domain for deletion, then it gets deleted, or something like that.

While I would like to visit cnn.com I would like to block adds.cnn.com. Other than that this is a good idea if the taggers know what they are doing.

(I am using some fictitious domains here...)
Redundancy like www.cnn.com vs cnn.com should definitely be removed, as well as other obvious ones like news.cnn.com are redundant since both would have been tagged as news.
Just need to make sure that music.cnn.com and www.cnn.com would not be considered redundant since one would obviously be tagged as music and the other as news.
If Goderators clean the list today, by merging myriad xxxpics subdomain entries into a single *.xxxpics.tld entry...
...is the submission system sophisticated enough to prevent me coming past tomorrow and submitting needless subdomain entries that match *.xxxpics.tld or does it accept the entries & my good intentions wind up re-cluttering the list?

I partly disagree with you, what if someone that knew the layout of the site of such sites and there was a subdomain under one of those like adult.photobucket.com (don't know if it exists but just for example) are you saying that we can no longer add that as pornography. or at least adult related or nudity.
sorry forget the partly, I fully disagree with you.
I also disagree.
If example.com and www.example.com and adult.example.com and familyfriendly.example.com are all hosted at different IP addresses with different content, I definitely want to block the bad but am willing to allow the good/ok.
Blocking of higher level domains will only work through the blacklist feature, not through Domain Tagging. If the higher level domain and the subdomain share the same IP, it would **probably** be okay to tag them both the same.

The Craigslist domains are at least partly my fault. I submitted a lot of those before I understood that tags on higher-level domains applied to untagged sub-domains.
