Running a Space
Three roles, the tools each one has, and what happens when a Space changes hands.
Roles
- Member
- Posts, replies and votes.
- Moderator
- Everything a member can do, plus removing posts, banning members, and pinning.
- Owner
- Everything, plus settings, roles, transfer and deletion.
Moderating
- Remove a post from the Space. It stays on the author's profile unless it also breaks the platform guidelines.
- Ban a member. They are removed and cannot rejoin.
- Approve or decline join requests, on a restricted Space.
- Pin up to three posts.
Transferring ownership
An owner can hand a Space to another member. The previous owner is demoted to moderator, and the new owner has full control. It is not reversible from your side afterwards.
Deleting
Deleting a Space permanently removes it and everything posted in it. This cannot be undone.
Space rules sit on top of the platform rules, never underneath them. A Space cannot permit something the Community Guidelines prohibit.
