One of the coolest things about orkut is how it allows us all to form communities around the things that we care about. Personally, I love jumping into discussion forums and talking about my favorite topics with other people who share my enthusiasm.
More and more, however, we've noticed that the anonymous posts feature has been making it hard to have the kind of fun and meaningful conversations that everyone looks forward to in orkut communities. Instead of quality posts, we've been seeing a lot of spammy and abusive comments from anonymous users.
In order to make communities a more fun place to hang out, we've decided to remove the "post anonymously" option for all communities. While no new anonymous posts will be accepted on any community forum, any previously posted anonymous comments will be allowed to remain live for the time being.
We hope that this new change brings more balanced and useful conversations to the orkut discussion forums. If you have feedback for us about the decision, please feel to reach out through the orkut U2U group- we'd love to hear it.
Happy posting!
