What are all these different asylum settings?
There are several various settings that you can control for your asylum. An asylum maintainer can modify these options at any time by visiting [http://www.insanejournal.com/asylum/ma

-- When "Open Asylum" is selected, any InsaneJournal user can go to the Asylum Info page and join from the hyperlink at the top.
-- When "Moderated Asylum" is selected, users wishing to join the asylum must click on the link, which makes a request to join the asylum. The maintainer of the asylum can either approve or reject the user's request to join.
-- When "Closed Asylum" is selected, users can only join by responding to an invitation from a maintainer.
Posting Access
-- When "All Members" is selected, any user who becomes a member is automatically able to post entries in the asylum.
