Lol. The situation with approving people is fluid and I may change the policy at some point to ease it up.
For matters of national security I leave my exact logic in who gets approved secret, but if I recognize who the people are I usually approve them the same day, or if I think the signup might be amusing or topical (Skurt Lockwood) for intance I'll approve it know that if they act up they'll get banned by some moderator.
If anyone reading this is waiting on approval feel free to e-mail me and maybe I'll put you higher on the list. Lol.
