# Getting Started - Membership

To join our community, download the SMC DAO app from the [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smc-dao/id6473840575), [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smcdao.app), [Amazon App Store](https://www.amazon.com/SMC-DAO/dp/B0DQQ3KP8F), or [Uptodown App Store](https://smc-dao.en.uptodown.com/android), and complete the registration process.

After registering on the app, you will be directed to take an entry quiz to assess **your** alignment with our community values.

{% hint style="danger" %} <mark style="color:green;">The quiz comprises 10 questions.</mark>\ <mark style="color:green;">**Applicants must score at least 70% (7 out of 10) to pass.**</mark>

<mark style="color:green;">Passing the quiz demonstrates that you fit the ethical and moral framework of our community.</mark>
{% endhint %}

After registration, our membership process includes several status categories:

### <img src="/files/sOnPjU7m35bg8Zg38O5D" alt="icon" data-size="line"> **Approved Members**

This is for those who completed the entry quiz with a score above 70% and provided full, accurate details (including their place of worship).&#x20;

Once your application is approved, you gain full access to the community app.

### <img src="/files/sIPkIOgLv1owx2UevRFF" alt="icon" data-size="line"> **Pending/Incomplete Members**:&#x20;

This is for those who have not finished the entry quiz or are still awaiting moderator approval. Their access remains limited until **their** application is reviewed and approved.

### <img src="/files/NcX7MYS4Olk9z2krOH7z" alt="icon" data-size="line"> **Rejected Members**:

This is for those who either:

* Scored below 70% on the quiz (can retake after 2 weeks), **or**
* Did not provide complete or accurate information (must update their profile to reapply).

### **Scam/Bot Profiles**

This is for those flagged as fraudulent or automated. These accounts are permanently banned, but legitimate users may appeal.

### <img src="/files/Smo6KqsoO8f7d8FliEZK" alt="icon" data-size="line"> **Suspended Members**:&#x20;

This is for those who violated community guidelines. Their access is temporarily restricted (from 1 week up to 1 year).

### <img src="/files/8GFa3KXLcSfgUIzzkKKh" alt="icon" data-size="line"> **Deleted Members**:

This is for those who either requested account deletion or were removed for severe violations. Their removal is permanent.

{% hint style="info" %}
This structure ensures that everyone understands their **membership status** and the specific actions required to maintain or upgrade their access within the SMC DAO community.
