Member privileges include posting to the group blog and submitting content you want displayed on the group's storefront.

In groups created after June 2007, the group's moderators can control privileges, so some groups may require moderator approval before a member may submit content to the group's storefront. When you submit content, our system lists the rules governing your permissions.

You must be a member of a group to submit content to its storefront.

On the group homepage, enter one or more content IDs you want displayed on the group storefront. Please submit only content relevant to the group.

Group moderators evaluate your submission, displaying it on the storefront upon approval.

Group moderators must approve all content submissions before they are displayed on the group storefront. If content you submitted is not on the group storefront, check the following.

• Is your content submission still pending? A group moderator may have not reviewed your submission yet. Click the "View Pending Submissions" link on the group homepage. If your submission appears in the resulting list, it is awaiting review. Please be patient.
• Was your submission rejected by moderators? If your submission is not in the pending content list, it could have been rejected by a group moderator. Moderators ensure that content on the storefront is relevant or appropriate. Contact one of the group moderators for more information.

Since this is a new program, Lulu staff must approve all groups.

Click the Request a new group link on the My Groups page to submit a new group request to Lulu. Give your group a name and describe its purpose in detail. When your request is reviewed, we notify you by email.

If we approve your group, you become its moderator.

The first moderator is always the person who asked to form the new group. That person then shares moderator privileges with other members of the group.

If you want to be a moderator for an existing group, contact a current moderator and ask for the privilege. Moderators may display their contact information there or on the group storefront, or you can click the moderator's name to go to his or her personal storefront.

Please do not contact Lulu staff; we cannot provide contact information for group moderators and we will not grant moderator privileges.

For more information about setting up your storefront, see the Storefront FAQ>.
