Suspend a Member

4.5 (90%) 2 votes


If at any time you decide a member of your Ning Network might not be the right fit, you can suspend them. Suspending a member will give you the option to remove all of the content* they’ve added to your Ning Network. It also prevents them from joining your network again with that account.

To suspend a member from your Ning Network, start by going to the “Members Management” tab located in your Dashboard Toolbar and selecting “Members”. Check the box next to the member you’d like to suspend and, in the “Select An Action” drop-down menu, click “Suspend for Spam” or “Suspend from Network.” Once you have suspended your member, you will be given the option to delete their content. If you do not choose to delete the suspended member’s content, be aware that they can choose to delete their own content at any time. A member suspended for spam will automatically have their content deleted.

*Please note that certain categories of content they’ve posted, such as groups they’ve created or discussions they’ve started, will not be automatically deleted during this process. That’s because other members may still be using those groups and discussions. You can delete the remaining content (groups & discussions) at any time.
