My problem is not you specifically, my problem is some joker that would abuse this to set up a gazillion spam hosts under ww.com as a tld and do un-repairable harm before I would clue in to it.

It's already a bit of a risk as it is (hence the 20 karma cap, I'm not too strict in looking at that if an account wasn't made 20 minutes ago), but I don't want to get burned.

I agree that the formal interpretation of 'subdomain' is one with delegation, but when someone says they put their usernames on 'subdomains' it is commonly understood to be a 3rd level host name, and not one with full delegation.

You could have surmised that from the bit that asks for 'the ip to go with it' and not for 'the ips of the name servers to go with it'.
