If the domains are what is being asked about in the discussion question shouldnt domains be opened up to anything the creator would like to put in there. For example Torog in the incomplete section has the domains of Torture and Imprisonment shouldnt that be okay to be domains or are domains something else entirely.

More or less, yeah, that's what it means. I would say a domain is like an area where it has particularly strong influence. I'm not sure what edition you're referencing. 5e generally has more loose rules with domains, but 3.5e and Pathfinder have a strict list of domains with a purpose.

Yeah i was referencing 5e because i created a deity and posted it and one of the concerns someone put on it is that imprisonment and some of the other things i put werent domains.

It was said that Torture and Imprisonment arent domains in the players handbook for 5e which is true (Referencing Torog in the deity section) but as you said 5e is ore relaxed on its rules and i think there really shouldnt be any restrictions on what a deity has a strong affinity with.
