Hi there!

If you have followed all the thread submission rules listed in the respective guidelines for the subforum you’re trying to post a thread in, then your thread will be approved as soon as possible (and if you didn’t, someone from the mod team will contact you). The “as soon as possible” is probably our biggest enemy at the moment, considering the state of the world right now. If you feel like you’ve been waiting for your thread to be approved for more than a couple of days/a week, we apologize. Please feel free to PM the mods responsible for the respective subforum then, asking if you did anything wrong with your submission or if the reason the thread hasn’t been approved lies with them.

So in conclusion, no, you don’t need to do anything other than follow the rules and guidelines, then your thread should be approved soon.
