How do I moderate an Academica stream?

How to become a moderator

 

You may become a stream moderator by creating a new stream, requesting moderation on an existing stream or by invitation from an existing

moderator.

 

Not sure if you're a moderator? If you need to accept, follow or authorship requests or remove followers, you are moderating a stream.

 

Moderator responsibilities

 

  • Moderators may delete any posts within a stream they moderate.
  • Moderators are also responsible for managing who can see and write to a stream.

  • From here you may edit Subscribers, Authors, Invites and the Profile Picture.
