Is there any way for members to turn off sponsored content?

I see that you have added sponsored content in the list view of messages. I find this really a huge turn off. Many groups are supportive in nature and to see the conversations interrupted in this way is a real turn off. Can't you move the ads to the right hand side?

Most importantly, since it appears to follow the Facebook model - will members be able to hide this content from their view as they can in facebook? Or will they not have a choice?

Again - please explore a premium option with membership management features (like meetup/big tent, etc) and event registrations. It would be most needed and most useful.

Thank you
