It took JC 3 days; HZ 14 days.
Nice try, but I just can't compete.
Yes, I'm officially back. And I'm sorry.
I know my deletion was lots of fun for everyone :)
I never will get an official reason for my or "J To The K"s deletion. My conclusion is that there was and is no real good explanation.
But I will say this. The orkut.com staff has worked over time to right wrongs. They not only called me and welcomed me back, but after much internal soul-searching, they instituted new policies that all orkut.com users have been screaming for for a long time: logic, consistency, and sensitivity in their deletion policies.
The pressure that all of you have put on by commenting on this blog, by creating ridiculous communities like "Come Back Huy Zing", "Come Back 'Come Back Huy Zing'", "W.W.H.Z.D.?", "Posts by his Zingness", etc., by changing your photo to "I miss Huy Zing"--all this pressure caused massive changes in the way that orkut.com will treat its users from now on.
More at the resuscitated Orkut Times...
Posted by huyzing at March 12, 2004 12:50 AM | TrackBackSo, now for the most important question: does being the #1 Orkut idol makes it easier for you to get laid?
Posted by: Faré on March 16, 2004 05:22 PMHuy, I am on many of your Orkut communities, and I have a huge favor to ask...
Do you remember the post http://www.orkut.com/CommMsgs.aspx?cmm=27439&tid=92&pmx=2&pno=2 on "Real or Not?"
You deleted an obnoxious post by an anonymous abuser-dork, and commented later about it. Could you email Orkut at help+blocked@orkut.com, explaining what the post was that you deleted, how you deleted it because it was so obnoxious, and how (if you noticed) everyone on that thread was jailed simultaneously? And that you might believe (if you do in fact believe) that "anonymous" was jail-bombing us all?
I think it would go a LONG way.
If that's too much to ask, no worries :)
Keep up the good times.
Keep up the photos with multiple girl stuff around your bare-chested self.
I couldn't find your email, so I just thought to post a comment here. Sorry if it's off topic! But yay for being back, and yay for grass-roots movements that resulted in positive changes to Orkut policies!
I am also trying the grass-roots thing, encouraging people to email Orkut with complaints about unfair jailings, testimonials about real people, an evidence of jail-bombing.

I´ve been blocked continuously every week. Sometimes, I´m blocked after an unblock!!!
I hate the jail, people sends you invites, a lot of transactions that you can´t answer!
