Moderate, report and leave a community

Every community has members, moderators, admins and one person who created it.

On this page
  1. Roles
  2. Report a post
  3. Leave a community

Roles

  • Moderators can give a member a time-out (1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days) and hide posts.
  • Admins can also appoint moderators, remove members from the community or ban them permanently, and change settings for everyone, such as access, how often the code changes, slow mode and who can create groups.
  • The person who created the community can also appoint admins, pass on their role and delete the community.

You’ll find these tools in the community’s details under Members and roles and Reports.

People who were removed can join again with a valid code. People who are permanently banned can’t.

Report a post

  1. Touch and hold the post and tap Report › Report post.
  2. Choose a reason and add a note if you like.

Depending on the reason, the report goes to the community’s moderators or directly to us. See also Report someone or something.

Leave a community

Touch and hold the community in the list and tap Leave Community. Or open its details and tap it there. You then no longer see its chats. With a valid code or link you can come back in.

If you created the community, pass on the role first or delete the community.
