I haven't been getting ANY pings for cshustler at all, let alone by the hundreds like others have. I got one for my daily reminder group and that's it.
What a shock I received.... When I just signed in to see 236 events, and I'm guessing that approx 180 pings (give or take 10 events) were from the same ping. All from yesterday. o.0 Glad to know that it's not sending out hundreds of ping anymore... But it is still sending out duplicate pings. I got a total of seven pings from two users only just.
Not sure if this is the right place to bring it up, but ping group permissions seem to be broken as well now. A friend and I just tested with a new ping group - she set the permissions to be "Group Admin Only" and I as a member was able to ping it (and received my own ping twice, haha).
For clarity, those settings can be found under "edit group":
