Give it time, the staff needs to look over your application and posts.

Yeah, staff needs to come to an agreement about whether or not to approve you. Posts, background check, credit check, criminal background...
(okay, perhaps only the posts matter

)

I think it took a day or five in my case. But you'll receive notification soon enough!

Hi there! Sometimes it can take a few days before staff members had a chance to look at your application. As Roswell and Filip mentioned, staff members do go through posts and depending on how busy they are, it can take a few days. It's possible that also a few staff members are on holidays so it it will take a bit longer. But not to worry. I'm sure they will get back to you fairly soon. If you haven't heard anything by early next to mid week, just create a post in Ask The Staff!

Sometimes it can only take a day or less (like in my case), but other times it takes much longer, and considering you've got 654 posts for them to go through it's pretty acceptable.

Just be patient, and I'm guessing if it's been a week PM a staff member to see what's happening?

Your application should get completed pretty soon. Sometimes applications slow down for one reason or another (staff being busy or away / loads of applications coming through at once).
