Overview

Keeping your community safe and constructive is essential. MemberUp provides easy tools for admins to report, review, and moderate posts that violate guidelines or disrupt discussions. This ensures your community remains positive and aligned with your values.


How to Report a Post

  1. Locate the Post
    Find the post you’d like to report in your community feed.

  2. Click the Options Menu
    Select the three-dot menu (…) in the top-right corner of the post.

  3. Select “Report”
    A confirmation message will appear saying:
    “Successfully reported to community admins.”

Once reported, the post is flagged for review and automatically sent to community admins and owners.

Tip: Reporting is anonymous — the post author will not be notified of who submitted the report.


How to Moderate Posts

  1. Access the Moderation Panel

    • Log in as an Admin or Owner.

    • Go to Settings → Moderation from your main community dashboard.

  2. Review Reported Content

    • Reported posts and comments appear here with timestamps, post details

    • Click on each report to view the full post or comment before taking action.

  3. Take Action
    Depending on your review, choose to:

    • Approve the Post — Keep it visible.

    • Reject or Remove the Post — Hide it from all members.

    • Document Your Decision — Add brief internal notes for future reference.

Keeping records of moderation actions ensures transparency and consistency across admins.


Best Practices for Moderators

  • Be Consistent: Apply community guidelines equally to all members.

  • Communicate Clearly: When removing posts or warning members, explain the reason politely.

  • Encourage Positivity: Recognize and highlight constructive or helpful contributions.

  • Review Regularly: Check the moderation panel frequently to address reports in a timely manner.
