After the launch of the new Ning.com, the SPAM from "vulture" Network Creators has started pouring in. Not only to my members, but to me as well. [...]
Now these "vulture" Network Creators can simply search Ning.com for members and add them as friends without even being on my network at all. My members are confused since most of them have never even heard of Ning. Once they accept the friend requests, they start receiving invites to other competing networks, content, etc. The worst part about it is that I, as a network creator, have no control over this!
Writes one member of the
network creators forum.
This is what members receive when they are friend requested through Ning.com:
=======================
User has added you as a friend on Ning
To accept this friend request, visit:

I wish they would let us leave ..and make it easy ..
I can;t delete my invited on ning.com i try and they keep coming back ...
I am so livid,,, I have to stop typing before I put my foot in my mouth ...
I'm not the only investigating replacement options for Ning...
With all the new social networking software thats becoming less expensive and it is the net. [...] Have decided finally to just create my own website, and maybe if ning stabilizes use them as a just group like yahoo group, or list serve. Not see them as a social network anymore.
