Orkut Safety Filter Will Block Suscipious Profiles

Now Orkut will mark profiles and communities as unsafe they have content thatis mature in nature, but doesn't violate their community guidelines. Forexample, their community guidelines prohibit pornographic images, whichincludes things like frontal nudity and graphic sex, and such profileswill be deleted. However, our community guidelines don't prohibitimages that don't contain nudity, but are sexually explicit, so we maymark such profiles as unsafe. Note that your profile does not getdeleted if it is marked unsafe - it just becomes hard to access.

Orkut guys are constantly working to keep orkut clean and beautiful. Thesafety filter lets users choose to show only profiles and communitiesthat have been screened for potentially inappropriate images or text.By enabling the safety filter:
  • Potentially offensive communities and profiles will be hidden from your search results.
  • The pictures of potentially offensive profiles and communities willnot shown in your community and friend lists - instead you will see aspecial icon.
  • A warning message will be displayed before you access these profiles and communities.


If you'd like to enable the safety filter, just follow these steps:
  1. Click settings on the left sidebar of your orkut profile or homepage.
  2. On the general tab, find the 'safety filter' section.
  3. Select the bubble next to 'do not show inappropriate content.'
  4. Don't forget to click the save changes button at the bottom of the page when you're done.

How to Save or Download Protected Orkut Album Images

flickr private picturesAfriend ( reader) was asking me "How to Save or Download ProtectedImages from orkut albums?". I myself faced a problem when I wanted to Save this nice Imagefor my stock photo Collections. I was Unable to do that as the imagewas protected . So I decided to Apply Some trick to get The Photo.

Normally, you can save Images/Pictures from Orkut (or any website) by right clicking the photograph and saying "Save Image As.." but in the case of protected Orkut images, all you will see on the desktop is a blank 1x1 pixel placeholder image called spaceball.gif

Reason: When a Flickr member has set download permissions to disallow his/herphotos from being downloaded, a transparent image is overlaid on theactual photo so the right-click method fails.

Solution : You may either use the good-old Print Screen / Screenshot or any of the methods below to defeat the Flickr image protection...

For Firefox:Goto Tools -> Page Info -> Media - Scroll down until you see thatFlickr image in the Media Preview Window. Click the Save As button.

See the Screenshot Below.
