Hi Pam.. I also have a site. I'm not sure if you have this site set to approve membership..If not do set it to approve membership.When doing that you can catch a lot of them before they get in. Just ask some profile questions for people to answer before joining. A lot of spammers will answer those questions with jibberish, just letters that make no sense, or one word for all answers. Another common way for them to do it is saying"I'll tell you later" .I have also found that a lot of spammers put their age down as 24 and say they are from New York, New York. If they answer any questions like that..don't just decline them... Let them in .. then suspend them for spam. When you suspend them for spam make sure it is checked remove all content like this Then all their junk comments go with them and you don't spend so much time deleting their junk...I'm not sure if you can add them back to the site and redo it or not, but if you can, it will save a lot of time.

What if I turn on Paid Access then turn it off before charging anyone? Do I still have to pay for the feature?

You will be charged the monthly fee for the Paid Access feature just like a monthly subscription for a Ning Network. The payments for Paid Access will align with your monthly bill date and be charged to the same payment method used to pay for your network subscriptions. If you choose to deactivate the feature, we will cancel your subscription at the end of your one-month term.

For more information, please see our Billing and Refund Policy.

I've tried out this feature and decided it's not for me. Let me out!

Deactivate Paid Access on your Network at any time by clicking on the "Deactivate" button located on your Manage Paid Access Page. Please refer to the "Best Practices Guide" PDF file, which is located on your Paid Access home page, for tips on notifying members before removing this feature.

Paid Access FAQs

Paid Access FAQs

 

I want to add this feature to my network, but don't know how it will work. Do I make everyone pay for site membership, even if they're already members?

You can do this a few different ways: You can give existing members a free lifetime membership and only charge new members any site membership fees; you can give existing members a grace period so that they have time to adjust; or you can begin charging everyone, existing and new, for membership fees on a date of your choosing.

I use the Donate app currently. Can this do the same thing?

This works in a similar fashion to the Donate app but is more seamlessly integrated into your network, so that there's no messy PayPal button code to mess with, and allows you to select minimum and maximum amounts that people can contribute, as a sliding (but required) scale.

How can I make different prices for different pages?

As a Network Creator, you can create a new Paywall for each price point you want to make. Go to your My Network tab and then "Paid Access" located under settings. Click on the "Create New Paywall" link to get started!

Do I need to have a PayPal account?

In fact, you need a verified PayPal account to activate Paid Access. If you don't have a verified PayPal account, or have no PayPal account at all, you'll need to create a new PayPal account and connect it to a bank account. After PayPal verifies that you have connected an active bank account, it may take up to 48 hours to take effect. Not to worry, the process is simple and easy to complete. Once you get verified by PayPal you can start using Paid Access.

Will my members need to have a PayPal account?

Thanks Linda,

The sad thing is I ave had some members friend SPAMMERS in the past & they do not seen to understand that the spammers want their e mail address to do harm to them.  I feel bad if something was to happen & did not do a thing to stop it if I could.

This is what Ning has sent me.
