For every profile, Orkut.com provides a "Flag as Bogus" button intended to allow any user to report profiles that are known to be fake. This bogus-flagging sounds like a great idea, but it turns out it has been used between forum flamers to spread hate and escalate battles beyond the community discussions. Unfortunately, orkut.com chooses the policy of shooting first and asking questions later, presuming guilt before innocence. So argue with someone in a community and you'll be looking over your shoulder for a while. I don't think that I'm a victim of bogus-flagging, as I'm fairly sure that I've had no enemies on Orkut.com. My crime seems to be the fact that I either created too many communities or that odds are that I created some questionable communities. The problem is that there are no known rules against creating communities that members might enjoy. Why wouldn't I want to make Orkut.com entertaining and fun for others?

It became obvious soon enough that the final judgment of my communities was arbitrary: coldplay & U2 remain but all hip-hop acts like Eminem & Jay-Z are gone. Dance Like Everyone's Watching is gone, but All Your Base Are Belong To Us lives on. It appeared a nerd was at the wheel. Some very questionable editorial discretion was exercised: death penalty-related communities or Middle East Conflict, all food communities were destroyed. Luckily, my personal favorite "Fly Chicks For the Geeky Guy" survived; the "G-Spot Search Expedition" didn't. I have to wonder how Orkut expects the geeky guy to know how to satisfy the fly chicks.
