Joining the community

• An admin's grant makes you invited. Your first sign-in shows the welcome screen.
• Pressing Join writes a membership acceptance (a record in your account, in general). From then on you're a member.
• Until you join you can't read or post anything.

• Spaces are granted by admins; there's no "request to join" button yet.
• The space directory (/spaces) lists the spaces that have a directory profile, with whom to ask.
• Unlisted spaces don't appear in the directory.

• Some spaces have a policy: a summary and house rules. You accept it before reading or posting there.
• When the policy changes, you're asked to accept again.
• Accepting is a record in your account; admins see who has accepted.

There is no Leave button yet: ask an admin to remove you, which deletes the grant that let you in (Terms §6). Your posts and everything else you wrote stay in your account; Off the Clock stops showing them.
