Arent only the Orkut communities creating all these problems? Why not ban communities straightaway or make communities untalking i.e, just create a community to bind together long lost friends but no forums. A member should be able to scrap all the team mates in one go. and these scrap books should be made private: Username/password required to access. Of course, this is possible only with the help of Orkut site developers. Anyway we cannot allow antisocial elements scraping any nonsense and putting that to public view. That can jeopardise national security. I am not a big fan of Orkut myself, but like going through communities esp. hate communities just for the love of reading it. There are so many people of my same like I know, so keeping a clause of reader discretion is not a very good remedy. We like doing things we know may be hurtful - at least to make sure if it is hurtful or not. Having said that, what Rediff does is also just that or even worse. In orkut, you have to create a profile to post something. Here we just need to have an ID: then post any types of non-sense. Regionalistic, religionistic, nepotistic and socialistic comments - even plain verbal abuses are not alien in Rediff too.
