Ban Members and Report Content in Sparkforge Communities
Group admins and owners can ban members directly from the members list. Any user can report a post or comment, and admins keep or remove it from the Reported Content tab.
Sparkforge Communities gives admins the tools to keep groups clean: ban members, review reported posts and comments, and act on them from web or mobile.

Banned members are removed from the group and can't rejoin. They lose all member-level abilities.

Report a post or comment
Any group member can report content. Click the three-dot menu on the post or comment and click Report. The reporter sees a confirmation toast.

Admins get email, in-app, and push notifications when content is reported. The Reported Content list shows everything pending review with Keep or Remove actions.

- Open the Reported Content tab.
- Click Keep or Remove for each item.
