Managing Members and Content in Stack Communities

In Stack Communities, you have the ability to manage group membership and maintain a positive environment by banning members and reporting inappropriate content. Here's how you can use these features effectively.

Features Overview​

Ban Members​

Group Admins and Owners can ban members from a group. Once banned, the member will be removed and unable to rejoin, ensuring they cannot participate in group activities.

Report Content​
