From there, If approved for verification, your account will be under a 72 hour screening period, during this time you may have full functionality of the app. Although, if the committee feels you are not strengthening the Members community within 72 hours meaning, Members who are incapable of interacting with at least 1 fan within 72 hours are removed. Members reserves the right to terminate your account. If you are a fit then you will be fully admitted to Members. Application are assessed based on algorithmic values as well as input from hundreds of committee members spread throughout the world. Committee members are anonymous to each other and comprised of people from various backgrounds, interests, ages, and sexual orientations. Application decision times can range anywhere from a day to a few months. If admitted, you agree to the community guidelines and values outlined below, in our terms of service, and privacy policy.
What Members is not:
Every admitted application at time of consideration was believed to fit within the community guidelines and values. On occasion, members do not depict themselves in a manner which the committee believed they would. In many cases those people have been removed for violating principles which weaken the community. These are absolutes with respect to considering an application and continued engagement with the community. Applicants must not:
• Have any depiction of hate, racism, bullying, bigotry, or any other public or otherwise known display of disrespect or violence toward anyone else.

You agree to these guidelines by signing up with members.
Committee members are asked by other Members consider who you would invite to your weekly dinners. If you were hosting a weekly dinner and wanted to create a fun, and interesting conversation, who would you invite? Would the other attendees understand why everyone else was chosen to be a part of this special occasion? This creates a unique environment with which to meet each other:
Speciality:
What makes you stand out? What are you known for? What do you think other people at the weekly dinners will remember you by?
Community:
What makes Members different is a sense of belonging - a common bond with fellow members of a community, and that can come in many forms. Close relationships with other members, similar work, shared interests, and so on. It's why applications require referrals. A trusted source can vouch for an applicant as someone who would add to the collective community conversation.
Uniqueness:
Beyond all of this, committee members look for that spark. Interesting people from all walks of life from all over the world have found us with no affiliation or anyone to vouch for them, and yet, the committee felt they possessed some special quality which would strengthen the community. That their lens on the world would make the Members conversation more interesting, and more often than not, they're right. Instagrams, websites, articles, etc are very helpful in understanding how you see the world.
For Members
It is important to note, that every admitted application at time of consideration was believed to be inside the bounds of all of the guidelines and values. While rare, sometimes members do not depict themselves in a manner which the committee believed they would. In many cases former members were removed for violating these principles which weaken our community.
Regarding Applications
The world is enormous, and applications come from every corner imaginable, thus community selection isn't perfect. It's why there is a committee, and evolving algorithms to assess an applicant's relationship and fit with the community. Every application is considered. It's a tremendous effort, and still, mistakes will be made. Similarly to universities, clubs, and jobs -making an offer to be involved comes with error. Institutions welcome and pass upon the wrong people every day, and Members is not exempt from that. This process is always being worked on and made better, however there is no such thing as perfect when it comes to things of this nature. If your application is currently on the waiting list, please know that every day people are removed from it, and welcomed to the community. Continual review of the waiting list remains a vital part of creating a vibrant community.
Removal of a member:
Every member is expected to follow our simple rules of respect, trust, and privacy. There are plenty of places across the internet where an expectation for behavioral standards and respect for other users isn't required - that is not the case here. You are not just a user - you are a member of a community. For the most part, everyone here appreciates this. For the few who might disregard community values by being disrespectful, inconsiderate, or mean, all members are encouraged to point this out and report those people. There is no room for this at Members. Members removes former members who don't share these same community ideals. Furthermore, we reserve the right to terminate any member's account we no longer feel strengthens our community.
