Title: How long does it take for a Classifieds thread to be approved?
Post by: RedRoboHood on Thu, 16 July 2015, 07:07:26
I posted this Classifieds thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73583) almost two days ago, but it hasn't been approved by a moderator yet. How long should I expect this to take? If my post does not meet all the criteria, how will I be notified so I can fix it?

I would PM a mod who is on right now and ask about your thread.

OK, I did that, thanks. So now I just wait, I suppose?

Pretty sure when your thread is hanging in limbo, you can hit that report button in the bottom right of your post. That shoots an alert to all the moderators. When you hit the report, you can write down something like "Please approve my classifieds thread or let me know what's wrong. Thanks".

Report button isn't just for bad things. You can use it to communicate to the moderator team.

I didn't know that. Learning something new everyday.

It's also handy for things like when you accidentally post something in the wrong subforum. You can always drop a report asking them to move things to a different subforum as needed. Really anything you'd like a moderator to take care of. Specific moderators may be busy but a report alerts everyone.

Moderator team: Sorry if I just blew up your Reports inbox.

Perhaps it is a reflection of your ability to separate yourself from work whilst you are on vacation.
