Approving newcomers posts

By Rimsen, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hello GMs / players / admins(?)!

I wanted to start a pbp game here on the forums with my group, however they are all new here. Their posts are waiting for admin approval for like a week. Do you have any experience how long does it take to let them post normally? How long is this period? For the first couple of posts? It's gonna take ages to start the campaign....

Depends. Sometimes (like, twice) it only takes an hour or two, sometimes it takes as much as a month or more.

you might be able to get movement using the edge customer service email.

Well, I may have some bad news. @Rimsen , they posted in a foreign language, didn't they? They may not getting approved at all. It might get caught in a filter and never make it to an admin, or if it does they still might not approve it. Try having them post something in English in an OOC or something, and if they still aren't approved in a week or so, they'll probably need to make new accounts and make their first post in English.

For what it’s worth, though I think it should be unnecessary, google translate makes quick and easy work of it. Maybe post in English to start, until everyone is approved? I was kinda looking forward to stalking the Rakghoul Outbreak game!

Sigh... We might have to move to some other platform then. :(

@Edgehawk, if you are interested, I can summerize the campaign :) It's quiet fun.
