Adding of Comments Temporarily Disabled on Orkut [FAQ]

Our reader Vish has been facing problem while posting comments on some friends pics. You can see screenshot of new error message, “Adding of comments temporarily disabled”, below.

Addition of comments disabled on Orkut

While I am not sure if this is bug on Orkut, there are few activities which may cause this problem.

Any of above activity, or any other similar activity, performed intentionally or unintentionally by you or on your behalf may block you temporarily from performing few activities on Orkut.

In case of such use of scripting, you will be banned to add comments, post scraps, etc. Your account will go into sort of read-only mode for 8-10 hours.

Now if you continue to see error after 1-2 days, then try sending a scrap to a friend. If you get again temporarily disabled error, then problem is with your account. If you are not performing any activity as mentioned above, its time to change your orkut login password as chances are someone else, a person or a third-party orkut tool/service, abusing your account.

Just in case this error keeps coming only with comments on photos, don’t worry much. A similar bug was reported on Orkut in the past. So hopefully, problem will be rectified automatically in coming days by Orkut itself.

Well, none of the 5 reasons as suggested above hold good for me, since I have not done or used any such script. It might be a bug. Lets wait for orkut to fix it.

Thanks for publisizing it.

Ya, it comes for me also sometimes… I dunno the reason for the error, all I know is, if you click on submit some 3 or more seconds later, you will be successful no matter what (except that friend of yours should not have “ignore”d you…)

Dev same prob has experienced my me too but after 1 or 2 days that prob is automatically solved. Plz the orkut with google cromo also delete all cookies,temp files etc and try.

this is common prob with orkut…they introduce some new feature and thn it has bugs then they solve it……. wait for sometime it’ll surely be solved……

as fro not able to scrap…dude the only reason i can think of is flooding…..

Deepak Jain October 28, 2009

@madhvi
This kind of error messages are seen when you post on too many communities on the same day.
Wait for, say 24 hours and try, you’ll surely be good to go then. 🙂
