We keep striving to make our site the best confessions website out there. Well, we already think we are the best out there, but that doesn't stop us from wanting to improve.
One request we have seen from time to time from Facebook page admins is the ability to see the IP address of the person that submitted the confession. This is now a configurable option. Current admins, when you log in to the administration page, you will see a new Settings button. When you click on that, it will take you to a new page with all sorts of new features. One of which is the option to show information about who submitted a confession. Including their IP address and the account they were logged in as when they submitted it.
On this new settings page you will have the ability to require your users to submit confessions using an account that they create on our site. And not to worry about privacy for your confessors, while there is an email field on the form, it is not required. We require no personal information at all to create an account. At some point in the future, we will be able to use this email field to send users notifications about their submitted confessions, such as when they get approved or when someone comments on one of their confessions. This is still a work in progress. But for now, admins can use the new account creation feature to help prevent spamming. Because if you require users to have an account before they can submit, then you can add usernames to your block list and you will never see any confessions they submit... and they will not even know their confessions are getting blocked!
Let's say you have 1000 spam confessions from one account. Go into the settings section of the admin site and add that user name to the block list. Now when you go back to look at your pending confessions... ALL of those confessions from that user will be hidden! And you can always unhide them as well by simply going back and removing them from the block list. Simple as that!
I should also mention the fact that we now allow page admins to change the password on their admin account. I am sure a number of you would be happy to not use the (sometimes) crazy passwords we come up with for you. Now you have the ability to set it to whatever you like.
And here's a feature that will be coming soon as well... the ability to add sub-admins. In the future, you will be able to create a new account on the site, then log into your primary admin account and set that user as an admin for your page. This way, if you have a page admin that goes rogue, you can simply remove them as an admin and they won't be able to moderate the confessions for your page anymore. Stay tuned for this feature. Hopefully coming very soon.
Once again we are demonstrating our commitment to our Facebook page affiliates and doing everything we can to make their task of moderating hundreds and sometimes thousands of confessions as easy as possible.
Don't forget to check out our mobile app for Android devices. Users can stay up to date with all the latest confessions right from their phone or even submit confessions, vote confessions up or down, or share them via Facebook, Twitter, or Email. And coming soon... you will be able to administer your confessions from the mobile app as well. It is still a work in progress, but we welcome you to put it through its paces while we develop it into something great. Download it now from the Google Play store absolutely free:
