Though we desperately need the ability to see member's private messages so we can protect the teenagers on our site, we don't think Ning are ever going to give us this ability due to privacy/legal concerns.
Instead I propose that Ning give us the ability to block any content including private messages with certain strings of text in it, and display a refusal message to the user. This would function in a similar way to the junk mail warning that pops up if your message includes a key spam phrase.
We get a lot of complaints about chain letters and advertising, and we're also worried about hostile or lewd private messages being sent to people.
We would like a screen where we can enter strings to be blocked (e.g. the first sentence of a chain letter, a website address, specific swear words). This would go a long way in helping us to keep our networks safe and spam-free.
