    WOT Social Network ratings?

    WOT currently keeps score on sites:
    example.com
    example.net

    and site subdomains:
    sub1.example.com
    sub2.example.com

    will WOT ever allow specific URL for "approved" social sites such as twitter, scribd, and the many others?
    example:
    twitter.com/userName
    scribd.com/userName

    currently WOT offers no protection from these forms of URI but it may be a good idea to implement.

    Okay...

    So does this mean that if we enter these URLs eg(twitter.com/mywot) into the mass rating tool to rate them, we will end up rating twitter.com?

    social groups

    WOT should extend past IP's, domains, and subdomains.
    Not only with sites such as Twitter and Scribd (etc.) but also include groups such as Yahoo!

    Here is an example of a Yahoo Group abuse (until they catch it and it's shut down - too hard to try to report to Yahoo):
    hxxp://groups.yahoo.com/group/rarudulalahes19/message/1
    (Canadian Pharmacy redirect -> storemedsthank.com)

    reasoning
    In Gmail for example, groups.yahoo.com inherit Yahoo's ratings until enough ratings establish the subdomain's scorecard valid for itself.
    So...
    In your web mail, you get green "good to go" icons for this spam.
    even on the groups page, the WOT icon is green and it really needs to be RED.
    We need a method to rate social sites and groups as well as our standard domains.
