How do I approve/decline/block a member or interview submitted to my community?

When you create a community, you have the option to moderate your members and interviews.

When members are moderated, this means that no member who attempts to join your community will be accepted until the owner or moderator approves them.
When interviews are moderated, no interview submitted to your community will be publicly seen on your community page until the owner or moderator approves it.
Even if the owner did not opt for moderated interviews or members, the owner/moderator can still remove or block members and interviews from the community after they have been added.

Log in to your account at archive.storycorps.org and go to your community page.
Scroll down until you see your list of members on the right (if not all of your members are displayed, click “Show all members” to see the full list).
Find the member you would like to approve/decline/block. Members awaiting approval will have “pending” beside their name in red.
Press the gear icon beside the member, and a pop-up menu will appear.
If the member is pending, your options will be: “Accept (Pending Member),” “Reject (Pending Member),” and “Block (Pending Member).”
If the member is already a part of the community, your options will be “Promote to Moderator,” “Remove from Community,” and “Block from Community.”
Select your option, and you’re done!
