Moderators of an open channel can manage channel Contributors and accept or decline users’ channel participation applications in [Studio] > [Participation].

In the [Studio] > [Participation] menu, you can systematically manage the users who are building your channel together with you.

Managing Contributor activity and applications

Checking Contributor activity history

  • In the ‘Contributor’ tab, you can see all joined users, and use the ‘moderators’ chip to filter and view only managers and the channel owner.
  • Click ‘Activity history’ for a specific Contributor to carefully check their posts and comments list, number of likes, and past sanctions.

Managing participation applications

  • For channels that require approval to join, you can see the list of users who have applied in the ‘Pending approval’ tab.
  • Use the ‘Accept’ or ‘Decline’ button for each application item to make the final decision on their participation.

Sanctioning Contributors

Removing a Contributor

  • The user is removed from the channel, but can rejoin or apply to participate again at any time later.
  • Even after being removed, they can still purchase posts, give support, and leave likes in the channel.
  • However, if they are removed from a channel that requires join approval, they can no longer write comments.

Blocking a Contributor

  • They are permanently prevented from rejoining or applying to participate in the channel.

  • All activities of blocked users are fully restricted, including purchasing posts, giving support, leaving likes, and writing comments.

    • However, their ability to view posts is not completely blocked.

  • Managers cannot remove or block the channel owner or other managers.

Managing blocked users

  • You can see blocked users in [Studio] > [Participation] > the ‘Blocked’ tab.
  • Click ‘Unblock’ to lift the block for that user.

Appointing and dismissing managers

  • Only the channel owner can do this.
  • In the Contributor list, click the More (...) button next to ‘Remove’ and select ‘Appoint manager’ to make that Contributor a member of the moderators.
  • In the same More (...) button menu, select ‘Remove moderator permission’ to revert that person back to a regular Contributor.
