Orkut: To UNBAN a user from banned community!

One of Devil’s Workshop Orkut Community member Aadesh posted a problem there that he banned one of his community member but want to unban him/her again….

Here are steps to unban a banned member!

  1. Right click on any link (profile, scarpbook, etc) related to that banned person.

  2. Press “Copy Link Location” (in firefox) or “Copy shortcut” in IE or similar option in ur browser!

  3. Paste clipboard content in notepad! (or any text-editor)

  4. Take only “uid” part!

i.e. for link
http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=8047825869783710708

uid is 8047825869783710708

  1. Now copy following link to the notepad.

http://www.orkut.com/CommMemberManage.aspx?cmm=COMM_ID&uid=USER_ID

  1. Replace COMM_ID by ur community id.
  2. Replace USER_ID by above uid. (that u got in step 4)

  3. Don’t put any space between address of step 5 while editing in step 6 & 7.

  4. Open this edited address in ur browser. (ofc ourse after logging into orkut)

  5. You will get all options related to member management. Just press “unban from community”.

This is tasted so feel free to reply if u have any doubt!

can a banned member of a certain community unban himself .

Rahul Bansal April 19, 2007

@Anonymous
No. But member can generate link and ask community owner to unban him.
Normally community owner don’t get list of banned users so they cant unban anyone even if they want! This script is intended for that purpose only!

hey man nice work…but listen can a non-moderator try nd unban himself…sounds wierd but try nd figure it out..?

Rahul Bansal May 2, 2007

@Al
There is no point to find a way for non-moderator as orkut will fix it ASAP! Afterall there will be no use of banning then! πŸ˜‰

Not working anymore

Rahul Bansal May 19, 2007

@X
Its working guys!
Read the above post carefully!
The link can be used by only community owner or moderators to UNBAN a member!

@ people who are saying “Not Working”

Its Working Fine… And Its the Only possible way to Un-Ban A member till now…

But it will be gr8 if Orkut soon provides a option For Banned Members Just like :
# members
# friends in community
# moderators
# co-owners &
# ?? Banned Members ??

EternalDude February 4, 2009

hey, can you please tell me if its possible to find who banned a person?

I am a moderator of a huge community, but there are 6 others mods as well, and someone is misusing the power! lol, wierd.. i would like to know who it is..

this link works fantastic! πŸ˜‰
if only it showed who banned it as well ! alas!
* shakes fist at them *

Rahul Bansal February 5, 2009

@EternalDude
We can not track info you are interested in.
Even I have a community on Orkut with 10 mods (max allowable by Orkut)
It will be great if Orkut can show log of activities performed by mods and co-owner to community owner.
But a feature like this is hard to expect from Orkut team. πŸ™
