Jon Fergus replied to Mik Barton's discussion 'Two character spam membership attempts'"Hi Bernard. One of our admins suggested this as a solution, so I thought I'd just pass it on for consideration.

Jon Fergus replied to Mik Barton's discussion 'Two character spam membership attempts'"It's also taxing our back-end heavily.
Ya, I figured it must be. Glad to hear something is in the works. Thanks for responding."
Jon Fergus replied to Mik Barton's discussion 'Two character spam membership attempts'"This is really getting to the point where Ning needs to do something about it. It's a network wide problem that's hindering the use of the platform. It shouldn't be a problem for individual administrators to each solve on their own.…"
Jon Fergus replied to Mik Barton's discussion 'Two character spam membership attempts'"What we're looking for now is a plugin or something that would automatically filter through the applications and get rid of the bad ones (the 2 character applications that are so common). Anyone come across anything that would accomplish this?"
Jon Fergus replied to Nicole Maxino's discussion 'BIG PROBLEM the EDIT buttons on the site are missing and i am unable to approve events or add photos'"Apparently other admins can see the 'edit' buttons. I've tried it in 3 browsers (firefox, EI and Chrome) with no luck. Also, several other features on the homepage don't load for me, or don't load in firefox but do load in…"
Jon Fergus replied to Nicole Maxino's discussion 'BIG PROBLEM the EDIT buttons on the site are missing and i am unable to approve events or add photos'"Resurrecting this post, since we're having the same problem.

Any ideas?

On my site, I have an app to allow anonymous replies to discussions. Maybe that, or some mod of it, would fit your need. You could start a discussion then let the anon replies act as the anon questions that can be answered anon…"
A discussion started by Jon Fergus was featuredAnonymous question submission on ning site?
On our site (which we use for philosophical study groups), we're wanting to create some way in which members can submit anonymous questions that we can then later group into a discussion to allow the community to answer.I was thinking perhaps a 'box' on the homepage with a field where someone can enter their question (similar to a 'suggestion box' type idea), but am open to various possibilities.It would be ok for moderators to see who makes the submission, but we want it to be private from any…See More
Jon Fergus replied to Jon Fergus's discussion 'Delete item from RSS feed'"Hopefully.
Does this mean it's your understanding that a deleted post is supposed to remove itself automatically from the RSS feed?"
