Wow, I didn't even see this announced. As promised on the Ning Roap Map, I just noticed this morning that the Ning Pro Networks have a new and awesome feature! If you are on the Ning Pro Plan, now you can add filtered words - - get rid of those old bad and nasty words you do not want on your Network! ;-)

I've been fortunate, and have had this feature for a while because of the awesome scripts offered by the former brilliant Team of Scripts4Ning, and I gotta tell you: it has saved my life on content moderating, especially on my Pet site where there are a lot of younger members.

For PRO Ning Networks - - Instructions on How To Set Up Your Language Filter Feature:
Access your Dashboard via My Network/Content/Controls/Language Filter

At the bottom of the screen you'll find the Language Filter.

Be careful that you do not include words you don't want filtered out. It gets a little tricky. For example, you may want to include the word "ass". If someone uses the word "glass", the word will likely be filtered out.

I haven't tested this on Ning yet, but hoping it will accept exact matches. Please let us know your experience once you've tested this feature. My guess is, if you add a word like "ass", add it with a space before and after the word like this (without quotes): " ass ".

Enter words (separated by spaces) that you would like to filter on your Network. These words if found on a page will be replaced with (*) except the first character.
