Resolved/Answered Not to be that guy but...

Just took a peek at your account. Generally not getting approved means that your account has not generated enough activity or the quality of the activity is lacking. Engaging in a few more threads in our community forum should help you be on the way to approval.
The following section of the Account Approval Information thread may be insightful here as well:
"
Note: Please be aware that all accounts are automatically flagged to be reviewed when they meet the above criteria (asking an Admin to be approved won't speed this process up, so please DO NOT DO THIS). We check all accounts marked for review at a minimum, daily. If you aren't getting approved this isn't because an Admin hasn't noticed you, it's simply that you haven't been active enough for your account to be flagged to the admins for review yet. Conversely if you just spam half a dozen three word posts to trip the system into flagging you for review, when we actually go to review the content and only find spam posts, we likely won't approve the account until it has generated more meaningful content.
If your account isn't being approved, this is generally due to either not posting an introduction thread, not posting anywhere outside of your introduction thread, not posting in any of the above mentioned community forums, and/or posting spammy non-engaging content in an effort to get approved faster. Five thoughtful and engaging posts will get you approved faster than twenty one sentence nonsensical comments that don't give us anything to work with. (Example: Participating in a Writer's Circle discussion to aid a fellow writer, writing out a thoughtful post in the Discussions & Debates forum, and actually participating in your own introduction thread will all be looked upon more positively than non-engaging single sentence reply threads like 'what's your favorite food'. The latter won't be looked upon poorly, but also these kind of posts likely will be skimmed past when reviewing an account, so they won't be very likely to help either).
Also note that account reviews don't happen immediately. So don't get concerned if you churn out a bunch of really engaging posts throughout our community forums, and then don't get approved for a few hours. If your account is flagged for review at 3am, it will generally be reviewed first thing in the morning when an admin wakes up. If your account is flagged for review at 2pm, it will generally be reviewed when an admin gets off work later in the evening."
Hope this helps and if you have any further questions feel free to drop them below!

I'm looking into this now. Your account definitely hasn't been flagged by the system for approval, which is why you're not reviewed yet. However after glancing through your posts, it looks like you meet the criteria to have been, so I'm checking into why you haven't been yet.
Alright, I found the problem. One of the allowed forums (Photography) wasn't being screened by the system. It's fixed now. Apologies for the delay in your account review that this has caused, and we'll get your account scheduled for review today.

Hey thank you very much~!!! You guys are awesome~!!
@Hood Rat
Can you provide further details on this issue? This thread was about an isolated bug related to a less frequented thread that has since been resolved.
If your account isn't being approved this is more likely due to either not generating enough content to be flagged by the system for review or the content generated by the user did not pass the review process. Please see my previous post in this thread for more detailed information on account approval. My general advice is if you haven't been approved in a day or so make 2-3 more well thought out posts on different threads.
Hope this helps
And again if you have information on a bug please leave them below or if you have any questions feel free to ask away!

Ah thanks, it might just be an issue of myself needing to post more, in that case. I'm just a bit concerned because I'm hoping to sign up for an RP that I need approval for while having a hard time to find threads where I feel I can add in meaningful responses.
