Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 11:33 AM

Hi,

I am using open DNS in our cafe networks, but since day before yesterday, OpenDNS.com stoped orkut.com saying its one Adult web site...

Since when orkut.com become a adult web site ??

http://www.opendns.com/cache/adult/ <<< Ckeck here

Man had to work hard to get all networks out from OpenDNS.com

cynosure · 13-07-2007, 11:38 AM

Orkut has everything. It a complete package.

Offtopic::Waise who is after this OpenDNS thing??? I hope those are shiv-sainiks trying hard to protect our cultural values

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 11:40 AM

I dont use orkut.com but is the service really provides adult stuff ??

satyamy · 13-07-2007, 11:50 AM

well orkut is like a blog or forum
its not an adult site
its very strange that opendns.com is marking orkut as adult

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 11:53 AM

waste of time beacuse of this stupid action of OpenDNS.com

!!!

hemant_mathur · 13-07-2007, 12:16 PM

There are lot of adult profiles and forums on orkut.

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 12:20 PM

^^^^

i am confuse now !!!!

i just loged in to the service, please pm me those links, as to me it seems one clean show... even they have system to reprt porn or abuse...

almighty · 13-07-2007, 12:27 PM

^^^
am dere from past a yr
and have Lodz of friends and found all my school mates and some relatives too
that is awesome place but coz its a open forum and some bad elements always try to spoil environment
ya dere is reporting system for porn iten or such stuffs but
coz of numerous profile mods or admin are not doin well to clean these things
everywhere we find both types of ppl
whom to chose and whom to not
it depends upon us

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 12:31 PM

^^^

so, still the question is, can it be called an Adult Service !!!! as their policy doesnt allow porn or such, free open mined discussions are there, cant see any thing which a 13 or 15 year old should not read...

almighty · 13-07-2007, 12:37 PM

^^^
no orkut cant be recognized as adult forum
coz of some profiles only dns claim it adult
disgusting

praka123 · 13-07-2007, 12:38 PM

dont know why...but i get lot of those spambots(girls) calling for ^&

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 12:41 PM

Jah !!!

Challo consider me a fellow who singned in to orkut.com for 1st time today, but i belive many here is reguler users, and still even we are in debate that whether its Adult or not !!!

every one seems as confuse as me

See let me clear some thing, Log in to yahoo chat rooms, their only adult suff going on, now still Yahoo Chat is consider to be a service which a 11 year old too can use

then what makes Orkut.com a adult service here I see strong policy and reporting services are over Porn and such !!!

almighty · 13-07-2007, 12:43 PM

hummmmm

you get prior notification when entering such chat rooms and the adult content is only limited to that specific area. while in orkut everything is open. the adult profiles are not categorised.

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 01:12 PM

are, Kolkata Chat rooms, are full of such

go to any Regional Room of India or any other country, u can see, Slang is their Mother toung, and S.e.x is their Job...

Nothing else... all day long people is doing this crap...

infra_red_dude · 13-07-2007, 01:15 PM

yeah.. but then again orkut has profile photos which cannot be moderated. thats the problem!

Choto Cheeta · 13-07-2007, 01:16 PM

Any one know Contact Details for orkut.com site admins ??

iMav · 13-07-2007, 01:17 PM

well there are a lot of communities on orkut which are adult ... they hardly have any adult content just the name and pic is a little mature

Help~Is~Here · 13-07-2007, 06:05 PM

LOL

. What's the difference even if it's categorised as adult or otherwise? There is a debate on that though. There is lot of adult content and adult matchmaking and call girl/guy stuff in orkut, it's just a matter of people searching. And with that amount ever increasing, regardless of what their policies are, when you have more adult stuff on a site, what's the problem in categorizing that site as adult? After all, sites like OpenDNS is not telling you not to go and visit that site or anything is it? It's just categorising the content available online.

satyamy · 13-07-2007, 06:48 PM

Ok got some reply...

Very Very bad attitude... when I contacted them as just another user, its 3days no reply....

but just sent an email few hours ago as MVP, and they reply back they are withdrawing the (NIB) BSNL IP range so that can access orkut.com !!!

I have requested to make sure any India ISP should be able to access that !!!

Please confirm guyss !!! with my IP, I can access now...

i think its good to classify social networking sites as adult themed websites. That would ensure that children dont get exploited. I do think that Social Networking sites are adult themed websites.

I was waiting for you reply... please refer to Page 1 regarding our comment on Yahoo

if Yahoo Chats and Yahoo profiles are considered to be safe, certainly orkut.com is much safer than that !!!

praka123 · 13-07-2007, 10:39 PM

orkut is working as usual

for dataone users

wow wht a Power (MVP)
Yahoo chat rooms are no longer safe
Well from their side if kids make their profile with correct date of birth than yahoo check that & dosent allow a below 13yrs kid to enter yahoo chat

but kids are now more smarter they make their profile like an adult

& orkut dosent even hav a single facility like this so any one or a 10yr old kid can also join it & scrap to anybody
also their are 1000's of adult xxx profile in orkut which can exploit kids
one need 1000 (Report Abuse) clicks for a Single Profile to close

Choto Cheeta · 14-07-2007, 01:15 AM

^^

Since 4 days back ??

rajdeepsingh86 · 14-07-2007, 12:22 PM

im surprised why do most of u people associate the word 'adult' with 'porn'!!

the legal age for joining orkut is 18 years. hence this makes it an adult site.
simple.

a_tif · 14-07-2007, 06:55 PM

y dont u simply change to ur isp's dns than using open dns

ax3 · 15-07-2007, 05:39 PM

ya ..... simply waste of time .............

adult conent ...... yes ........ lotta ppl have communities 4 that ...........
