Google orkut is doing most to spread piracy, porn, illegal hacing and other ....

[naveen_reloaded]

^^ ya... i dont think we should be holding our profile there...

especially girls..

[ravi_9793]

I think web community should first ban orkut............

[naveen_reloaded]

true

[dOm1naTOr]

What da he11 shud happen to us om usiong orkut? Maybe we ll get more spamming mails or scraps.
But girls putting their photos shud beware, even family photos. Thans for orkut mods for features like album locking, etc. U can make them open for friends only.
Use a seperate mailid for orkuting, so spammingll not be a problem. Let go for spammers. If u start offencing such spammers, then ull not get time for nythin else in this world.

Ya it's right. These sites are totally rubbish and also inspite having to ko that such things are going on nothing has been done uptil now.

[satyamy]

i am using orkut for more than a year

I havent faced any Prob.

[Pathik]

+1..
If u dont like it, then dont use it.. Wats the point cribbing abt it?

[abhijit_reddevil]

Yes, if you don't like it, then don't use it. It's that simple. Myself and my wife are using it for over 2 yrs now without any probs.

[naveen_reloaded]

its not until recently we are havinh problem..

if my memories are right ..
prev when u report a person u have only very few options like nudity,illegal content..etc..

look @ the present situation......

thats wht its all about ..

[rosemolr]

last year my friend faced a severe prob..that some one created his fake profile with the same picture in his orkut profile..and that fake profile..scrap some porn over his friends profile and he asked about their personal details like mob number and all..finally he fu*** up..he make apologise to all freinds..lot of his friends break up with him..that is what orkut made to himm..he lost his best freinds via orkut..more girlfreinds..

[naveen_reloaded]

now i remember a incident..

i have a girl friend (muslim) who recently got married...

her wedding photo somehow reached online and with she and her husband posing during wedding ... the photo was used to create a fake id .. using entirely different name "William"

i was randomly browsing and found this ..

the most horrible thing is under the weddin photo it was titled vulgarly...

[Who]

i hate people here want to ban orkut & they are not even taking any action to do so, guys only brag when you are actually trying to do something otherwise you are wasting your time.

[hahahari]

screw orkut guys.....quit using it and it will shut down automatically.........protests and such small therads in forums wont go long

[Who]

yeah i agree if you want to change something take action it won't happen by it self.

[crystal_pup]

[naveen_reloaded]
