Some months back Orkut implemented a SPAM Folder / SPAM Inbox for all user profiles and communities. This step was taken in order to prevent Advertising URLs, Bad Site URLs etc. But still Have you Checked your Orkut SPAM Folder?

The reason for this is, Orkut is marking many legitimate Scraps and Community Topics/Messages as SPAM! These messages usually contains URL’s which links to other sites or links to other sites via URL Shortening Services.
