JOIN REQUESTS

// server owners and moderators

Turn on join approval

Turning approval on and choosing the questions is for the owner and admins. Reviewing requests can be handed to any role you like.

1. Open server settings

   Click the server name at the top of the channel list, then pick Applications on the left.

   Server name ›Applications

2. Tick “Approve new members”

   From the moment you save, every invite link of the server opens the request screen instead. Existing members are not affected.

   Settings › Applications Approve new members Questions to ask (up to 5, optional) Who invited you? Which games do you play? Add questionSave

3. Add questions if you like

   Use “Add question” to ask up to 5 questions. With none, people ask to join in one tap. With some, they must answer all of them first.

   Short questions you can check work best: “Who invited you?”, “Where did you hear about us?”, “Which games do you play?”

4. Save

   From now on, people who use your invite wait in line for a decision.

Who reviews requests?

The owner and admins always can. To let your moderators do it too, give a role the permission.

1. Pick a role

   In Roles, pick a role or create a new one.

   Server name ›Roles ›Moderator

2. Turn on “Review applications”

   You will find it in the permission list, under Moderation.

3. Give the role to your moderators

   Someone with this permission who is not an admin sees only Applications in server settings, nothing else. When people are waiting, they get there from the button in the channel list or from the notification.

Review requests

When someone asks to join, everyone who can review gets a notification, and a button showing how many are waiting appears above the channel list.

What the card shows

Their name, username, how old their account is, and their answers. Accounts younger than a week are marked “New account”.

Approve

They become a member right away and are told so.

Reject

Add a reason if you want; they will see it.

History

The History tab shows who decided what. Decisions also go to the audit log.

Two people at once

If two people decide on the same request at the same moment, only the first decision counts.

Ask to join a server

Some servers approve new members. When you open the invite of one of them, you send a request instead of joining directly.

1. Open the invite

   Click the invite link, or paste the code in the app under “Create or join a server”, “Join with a code”.

2. Answer the questions

   The invite card says the server approves new members. If it asks questions, answer all of them. Your answers are shown to the server’s moderators.

   Night Squad This server approves new members. Your request goes to its moderators. Who invited you? Ayse Ask to join

3. Tap “Ask to join” and wait

   The card changes to “Your request is being reviewed”. You cannot see the server’s channels meanwhile; that is expected.

   Your request is being reviewedOnce approved, the server appears in your list and we’ll let you know.

4. Approved means you are in

   You get a notification and the server appears in your list. If it has rules, you read and accept them first.

If you are not accepted, you see the reason when one was given. You can ask again after 24 hours.

// good to know

Short answers

Someone waiting is not inside.

They cannot read or send messages, join voice channels, or appear in the member list.

Invite limits count requests too.

An invite for 5 people brings at most 5 requests. The same person trying again is not counted twice.

Banned people cannot apply.

Someone banned while waiting cannot be approved either.

You can switch it off at any time.

Invites then let people join directly again. Past requests stay in History.

Existing members are not affected.

Approval only applies to people who come in from now on.

Not available on the official Void Community server.

Everyone joins that announcement server automatically.

You need the latest version of the app.

The desktop app updates itself and the web app only needs a refresh. On phones, install the store update.
