A Genius Thought and an End to Scrap Flooding on Orkut ?



Finally we are seeing an end to scrap flooding on orkut. The race is now over. Orkut kept changing their codes, disabling the effect of the flooders which were updated again and again. Now, A simple but genius thought has put and end to all this. Now, if you flood your scraps beyond 100,000 they will now be shown as 100,000+ . So the hardwork of all those heroes who were in a race of the top scrap holders has finally come to an end.You can have a look at the screen shot to get an perfect idea.

Whats Next?The brave men on orkut are revolting against this new feature and putting forward their points. You can catch the whole (revolt) discussion at the orkut help group and here is something official, which orkut guide had to say replying to the strong opposition of the feature

Official Word from Orkut Guide:
Thanks to everyone for their input. Seems like a hot issue since eventhose who haven't reached the limits are writing in. As Rakesh et almentioned, we've put this limit in place to help curb automatedspamming on the site (which is against our Terms of Service and canalso have consequences for email servers, etc.).
But don't worry! You'll still get scrap notifications based on yourpersonal settings, you can see new scraps when you visit yourscrapbook, or you can always delete old or duplicate scraps to getbelow the 100,000 mark.

Regards:-Orkut plus
