ORKUT INSIDER - SCRAPS MARKED AS SPAM

Orkut is one of the leading social networking sites. Its greatest advantage is its capability of combining with many other google applications and gadgets.

But after receiving many complaints from the orkut members regarding "spam scraps or flooding" , orkut has now implemented an automated system which works on spam blocking.

As per the system, any scrap which contains external links and the size or content of the link being bigger than usual link sizes, will be marked as spam. As a result, the scrap will be automatically moved to spam folder.Time of scrapping is also an factor that the system takes into consideration.

And the other steps includes "REPORT ABUSE " ,"REPORT SPAM " links in the orkut page.

Not always ,the Orkut system marks your scraps as spam.

But what would be the situation ,when the scrap containing links are reported as spam ??

It would be really frustrating for us when our scrap gets marked as Spam. and we would receive a message from orkut system as

"The content you're posting looks like spam, so it's being sent to the recipient's spam folder. Surprised? Keep your computer clean by running an anti-virus program. You can get one with the Google Pack."

Many complaints have been registered so far in Orkut community regarding this issue.But not a proper solution has been arrived at so far.

Following are the steps that fixes this issue. Hope it helps ..

TIP -1

Add some text before and after the links with the scrap.

This is a general guideline provided by any Orkut scrap provider like sendscrap.com,123orkut.com etc

TIP - 2

With Tip -1 u may get away with the orkut system sometimes.But when it doesnt work ???

Here the solution 2 comes handy..

STEP - 1


Locate the addressbar on your page as shown in the below image.


Link will look like "http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Scrapbook.aspx?rl=ms " or whatever it may be .































STEP -2


just remove the "Main#" part in that link.


Now the link say will be "http://www.orkut.co.in/Scrapbook.aspx?rl=ms"


STEP -3


Now post ur scrap in the text box provided.


It may ask for word verification after which your scrap will be posted successfully.


If your scraps are accepted by the spam avoidance system, before you try this technique. Atleast now, you will come to know that "Main#" in the Orkut URL has nothing to do with.
