I REALLY hope they have a "spamvertized" catagory.

I'd love to be able to input all those pill & penis sites.

They have a generic category called "ADWARE" that can be used to categorize such sites. See here:
»www.opendns.com/community/domain···ory_id=1

They already have over 1400 sites submitted in that category and waiting for votes to determine inclusion. So if you choose to use OpenDNS and select the "ADWARE" filter, it should refuse calls to resolve the DNS for sites that eventually get voted on. And that may be a weakness with this service. Who is going to look thru 1400 entries and take the time to vote on them?

Besides the phishing category, I may actually try that one.

No, that category doesn't quite have the desired level of hatred that I'd like to convey.

 Agree, an "Adware" site would be a site that installs or distributes programs with intrusive ads in them.

I too would suggest a "Spammer" category be added, then we can finally death-penalty the sites of spammers.
