My community has gone quiet. How bad is it really, and what do I do first?
A quiet room is normal, not a verdict. Three screens tell you how quiet it really is, and who to write to today.

Check what Quiet 30 days counts
Posts this week, Comments and New members all count the last seven days. Quiet 30 days counts people, not days: members who haven't posted or commented in a month. The 6 is all six members.

Posts, comments, new members — and Quiet 30 days, which counts people.
Take me thereRead the dates, not the totals
Read the dates down the column, not the totals. A total can never go down, so All 6 tells you what the room once was, not what happened this month.

All 6, Members' 5 — and every member post weeks old.

Not visited yet, months after joining, means they never really arrived — an invitation problem rather than a posting one. Message sits beside every row.

Each member with when they joined, whether they came back, and Message.

How do I run a short challenge in my community?

Can I approve new members before they get into my community?
Yes. Switch on approval and anyone who asks to join waits in a Requests list in Members until you let them in, the way a private LinkedIn or Facebook group works. People you invite, and people who pay, still go straight in. About five minutes to set up.
Can I change a member's post before I approve it?
No. A post waiting for your approval can only be approved or rejected, so you cannot change a member's words. If a few words need changing, approve it and add a comment, or message the member and reject it.
Can I check comments before they go up?
Turn on comment approval and every member comment waits for you. It's a separate switch from the one for posts.
