Protect your account
Due to orkut.com's open nature, we realize that users' accounts can become compromised through phishing schemes, viruses, and spyware. Fortunately, users can help secure their own account and their online identity quickly and easily. As a starting point, we recommend the following safe practices:
Don't share: Keep your username, password and personal information secret and change your password regularly.
Don't script: Never paste a URL or script into your browser while logged into orkut.com, no matter what it claims to do. Don't click on links in emails that claim to be from orkut or Gmail. Scan your computer regularly for viruses, spyware, and adware.
Don't spread: Never enter your Google Account login and password on sites other than orkut.com and other Google properties. Never check remember me when you're using a shared computer.
Avoid posting sensitive personal data, such as email addresses or pictures, in public places.
Don't forget to click the Logout link at the top of the page when you're done using orkut.
You may also want to restrict who's allowed to write in your scrapbook and see your photos, scrapbook, videos, testimonials, and feeds. To do so, click settings under your profile photo, choose the privacy tab, and use the dropdown menu to choose who is allowed to send you scraps or see your scrapbook, photos, videos, testimonials and feeds.
Please remember never to share your password with anyone, including sites that claim to send friendly scraps to your orkut.com friends. If you've shared your password with anyone, we highly recommend you change it as soon as possible.
If someone is using your account without your permission, please report a hijacked account.
Please be assured that orkut.com does not use your email address for any purpose other than sending out orkut invitations and notices. We find spam annoying and are committed to keeping your email address safe.
Additionally, we'll never send you spam emails asking you to download anything or to send us personal information, such as your password or bank account information. orkut.com is a free service, and it will remain safe with your help.

orkut.com Community Standards
The following Community Standards are the shared values of the orkut.com community. orkut.com is a place where users can express their own beliefs and values, and our Community Standards help foster a positive environment in which to do so. These standards are a living document and will change based on the needs of the broad community and the available tools, so we encourage you to review them frequently.
We take the orkut.com Community Standards seriously and ask you to respect them. As orkut.com members, you have certain responsibilities to yourselves and to each other.
The following guidelines are intended to protect orkut.com members' privacy, legal rights and overall user experience. Note that these guidelines are not intended to replace the actual Terms of Service for orkut.com
Potential Community Standards violations should be reported using the Report Abuse button on either the community or profile page. If we determine that the reported content is illegal or violates our policies, we may immediately remove it.
Account RestrictionsWhile we encourage users to take full advantage of their accounts on orkut.com to share ideas freely with one another, we have limitations on certain account content and behavior. Users’ accounts are subject to the following restrictions. Violation of any of these restrictions may result in the suspension or termination of an account:
User IdentitySince orkut.com is meant to foster open interactions between real people, we require users to meet basic identity standards. Accounts should only be created by the person being depicted, and all users must be alive and at least 18 years old.
Profile ContentAn account should not upload, transmit or contain (in the profile, testimonials, scrapbook entries, etc.) material -- such as child pornography -- that violates real-world laws. These users will be immediately terminated when we become aware of such content, and we will report instances of child pornography to the appropriate authorities.
Additionally, images displayed on orkut.com should not contain nudity, sexually graphic material, or material that is otherwise deemed explicit by the orkut team.
An account should not upload, transmit or contain material that is hateful or offensive based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
An account should not contain direct threats of violence against any living person, nor may it promote any dangerous and illegal activity.
Account BehaviorAccounts should not be used for commercial purposes unless separately agreed to by contract with Google. orkut.com is for personal use only.
An account should not be created by automated means or be used by an automated system to perform actions such as: creating new accounts; sending scraps, messages, testimonials or invitations; or creating communities. We may remove accounts found to be engaged in this type of activity. Similarly, an account that affects the general stability and/or integrity of the system may be suspended or terminated.
Finally, we believe that users are accountable for the company they keep. An orkut.com account should not be used to invite another account with the purpose of violating these Community Standards. If the orkut.com team determines this takes place, we may suspend or terminate both accounts.
