Ning's Adult Policy Applies To Everyone EXCEPT 50 Cent
First let me say that I am totally against the policing of NC websites. I think network creators should be free to put what they want on their site, and certainly if it their domain their using.
It is EXTREMELY hypocritical to ban entire networks for having nudity while continuing to allow HARDCORE porn on 50 cents social network. Thats discrimination.
Point and case: (Links are for 18+ onlyyyy!)

Is it an artistic expression when the spanish girl is yelling "Yea Papi" as she's having intercourse??

C'mon Ning.

I'm pretty new here but it's really easy to see what's going on. You guys whine WAY TOO much. GetSatisfaction.com/NING is a forum for people who have created NINGs to talk and HELP each other. There's no helping EACH OTHER here. Everyone just bandwagons. Try posting a question and then answer one. This place would be muuuuuch better. If you have a specifiic problom or a NING group has something that needs to be looked at, GO TO HELP.NING.COM. They have a small team there that gives better customer service than most other services. They give 100% better service than any company with 20 million users. FACEBOOK doesn't even respond anymore (serisouly. ask fbook a question. see if you get a response. you WON"T)
You all spend too much effort on here complaining. If you put this effort into making your network better and attractive. I'm not saying you aren't putting time into your groups. I'm saying put the energy you put into this forum into your network too. If yur always looking for bad things, you'll always find bad things.
Do you think NING lets turns a blind eye to THISIS50.COM because it's only got a little porn? NO! They don't care too much becuz 50 Cent has a GIANT and KICK ASS network. You might say that's hypocritical, but it doesn't really matter. If you want to have a couple nude pictures on your group, get 467,000 members. That network became huge AND THEN adult stuff started appearing. I know becuz i was member number 1556 on THISIS50 and have been active the whole time. Bad things get posted, ADMINs and NING take them down.
They've given everyone a FREE (yes it's free! you can buy things IF YOU WANT TO) platform that dominates everything else. You don't like it, go away. Don't say you complain because it helps them. It DOESN"T. Giving structured and thoughtful feedback helps. Yelling and peeing in your pants doesn't.
AND don't say you can't leave. YOU CAN. You can invite your members away. NING will export your network content to take with you. (NO THEY DON"T GIVE OUT BACKUPS. You're an idiot if you think you ned a back up! What use would a back up of your network be? NING has it all. They are super helpful if content disssappears.)
Anyway, this will prob be my only post. I just thought someone should point out how moronic your guys posts are. I get the feeling most of you spend too much time indoors. Except for Russell. He THINKS and then writes.

Inappropriate?Hi Demon,
As you know, we're not involved in the management of Ning Networks. While we don't actively police social networks on Ning, we of course investigate and respond as appropriate to anything that's brought to our attention, as all members and Network Creators agree to follow our Terms of Service. We appreciate you letting us know about this!
Thanks,
Courtenay -
Inappropriate?"As you know, we're not involved in the management of Ning Networks."
So what is rearranging our pages, inviting our members to join your ning.com scam, deleting invites, turning off developers apps from great companies like Widget Labs, and S4N, ad infinitum? Clue me in please....
Maybe you meant to say: "we are only involved with macro-managing your ning network?
Who are you trying to kid???
50 gets whatever he wants, since his one This is 50 "group" accounts for over 2% of net ning traffic. [OMG did I say "group"? I must have meant ummmm: network?] We all know the real reason you all screwed all the "adult sites" to appease google adwords requirements and TOS.
Please ning, it is time to recognize that we are not smoking crack like some of you must be....

Inappropriate?With all do respect Courtenay,
This issue has been brought up publicly dozens of times on this site and multiple others. Every single employee at Ning is either:
a) well aware of the content on the largest network on the platform.
b) uninterested in customer relations and pays no attention to our feedback
c) new and not caught up yet.
(If you fall into a 4th category please let me know what it is, otherwise I won't put you on the spot of asking which applies to you.)
The fact is, 50 cent has a bunch of porn on his site. When Ning shut down every other adult network on the platform, this was a major source of outrage. It's been discussed in detail and referenced many, many times.
Personally, I'm not all that into porn. The only adult site I've ever been to on Ning is 50 cent's. It's the double standard that is upsetting. If you don't apply the rules to everyone, you don't get to demand them of anyone. Why did you shut down a bunch of small business owners and continue to support a multi millionaire?
And please, above all, let's not pretend this is news to anyone. That's just insulting.
I’m sick of double standards

Inappropriate?So Courtenay,
Now that it HAS been brought to your attention (as it has been for MONTHS), are you going to leave 50 cent with the same fate as the networks you just shut down? Or does he simply get another slap on the wrist?
This IS discrimination! You shut down networks that didnt have content anywhere near as explicit as that on 50 cents site -
Inappropriate?This is 50 is NOT a porn site - Just because there are a few videos, pics, etc posted on their site does not make them a porn site.
Ning had every right to shut down porn sites because Ning cannot make money by allowing porn sites to sprout up on their platform. No company in america wants to be affiliated with porn (especially google)
This is just another example of a NC freaking out over the dumbest little things. I dont understand why people on here cannot realize that things do happen - things get lost.. Just because they have a few videos slip through doesnt mean that this a discriminating event.
Now if you showed us a network that has 95% porn pics and videos - then absolutley. You guys sound like a bunch of crybabies1 Comment Add a comment

Cry babies? People lost thousands of dollars and hours worth of time developing a site WITHIN Ning's TOS. When they changed their TOS, those people lost their entire investment along with their reputation.
Must you always sound so uneducated and misinformed? -
Inappropriate?I only partly agree with you Russell,
I agree that Ning has the right to shut anything down, and I agree that this is 50 isn't a porn site. I would say, however, that sites with less adult content were removed. I don't have the % of content on this is 50, but it's prominent. I have only been to the site 3 times, and all 3 times the explicit pics/videos were very prominent. It's not a case of a few pics and vids slipping through.
I'm not a conservative anti-porn guy, and I'm not a conspiracy theory Ning hater. I understand they are a business and this isn't an emotional decision for them. I just think they effectively policed and enforced rules on the sites that weren't making them money. 50 makes money and is a big deal, so Ning is turning a blind eye. If they want to make an exception for financial reasons I'm even okay with that, they just wish they would say so and not play dumb for months on end.
I hate hypocrisy, and I think Demon5's on that same page. Ning should be accountable for these kinds of decisions and be aware that it is a bad precedent that I wouldn't want repeated. I'm not asking for action (like get the porn removed from 50's site and be consistent) or threatening with anything emotional.
The only reason I jumped into this conversation is because I'm tired of Ning playing dumb and not actually responding to problems. This is a perfect example of it. I'm not satisfied with the way Ning has handled this situation, and this is the forum to announce that. -

you say this is free... .when i joined ning they said i could download an open source copy of ning to use on our own servers.. Sounds great right.. too good to be true.. I signed up to get it, they told me ( and I still have the email) that I would need to build up more members first before I would be accepted to download a copy of the software.. There was even a form on their site where you could request a copy of the software.. Then all the sudden that page vanishes with out a trace.. they tell me they no longer give out the code.. So.. I already started recruiting.. had the whole thing designed... now when I message them about this they don't even reply.. so now I'm paying $50 a month to get the same deal they told me I'd be getting for free and I'm stuck with it because if i leave it.. I'll loose all my clients content and my business will die.. I'm paying $50 a month because I don't want ning emailing my clients a ning url and ning banners plastered all over the site..

Inappropriate?The only MORON here is a noob named "able." Dude - know WTF U R talking about b 4 you bash ppl here MORON ning shill. GS was setup after ning censored over 20,000 NC's by closing the Network Creators forum, so they could go scrape together some $$ from investors who would not know how ning was screwing all of us, GOT IT??? Ning has screwed tons of us, So get lost, noob...
-
Inappropriate?Excuse me Able, but like you said, you're new here, so you have NO idea of what's really going on. Like most of us who have been with Ning for three years or more, we started out as a network and now we are groups. Just like you said in your post.
Ning has become a MySpace on steroids, which is NOT what we signed up for. It was NOT what they advertised and the rules have changed dramatically, almost on a weekly basis. Promises have been made and not kept, consistently.
My network (group) is a non profit and we have invested thousands of dollars not to mention hours into our network, only to have our competitors steal our members, which Ning does nothing about. Luckily for us, our members have started coming back. But this is one of those changes, we, as NCs, had no say on. Had we been asked, I'm sure there would have been a resounding no.
Unfortunately, it is not in our budget to move our network (group). We're looking into getting a grant which will allow us to move to our own server. That money could have gone to Ning, but instead it will go to another hosting/server company. Those of us who devoted our sweat, blood, tears and money to our "networks" only wanted what was promised to us, what we signed up for originally. Not the bait and switch we are now involved in.
I’m mentally exhausted

Inappropriate?Here is another porn, or quasi-porn site on ning, with a mere 36 members, that has been spamming me:

That goes beyond disgust. Now I think I have to go and throw up.

CONGRATULATIONS! You found someone violating NING'S Terms of Service. Who would've thunk that with 1.4 MILLION NETWORKS there would be some bad eggs. It's good to see you are doing your civic duty and reporting this to the help center....oh wait....yur not. yur just looking for a reason to look for and post porno.
- goto http://help.ning.com/
- report the network
- NING peeps will take it down
- go get an icecream cone and chill out -
PUT ....I think I threw up in my mouth when i looked at that site.......lol

Able - FYI ning does NOT have 1,400,000 "networks." R U kidding?? Ning MAYBE has perhaps 10,000 actual networks with more than 100 members, and maybe a few hundred thousand with well under 100 members, most of which are "Maytag Repairman" "networks" with a single member. This is just another big NING LIE meant to con investors. But you would not have any idea of this fact, as you are a total noob.
Go ahead ning - censor this post also. I will use it and the others of mine you removed, as "ammo" in my (soon: our) lawsuit (s) v. the ning scam, as further evidence of how manipulative and deceptive your stumbling company really is, as if i needed any more proof of that. LMAO! -
Inappropriate?This is getting ridiculous!
If I could upload the pic I used as an example of our now gone Art group and you read that they thought it was GRAPHIC and not allowed... grrrr... you would all be amazed! -
This reply was removed on 09/11/09.

Inappropriate?At least the offenses were finally taken down.
How long before more show up on that site?
And will Ning be watching that site like it watches ours?
-
Inappropriate?there's still a TON of porn on that site...go go to photos or videos and click "popular" -
Inappropriate?lol no I am scared! hahaha So if we all just send "report violation" to Ning it will work???
nahhhhh... who are we kidding.
If this wasn't so personal I wouldn't care - but after the long hell I went through with those damn tickets and then being told my little Art site is a violation this really stings!
