…unfortunately this’ll take awhile. it’s still about 4,780 as of writing. but that’s down probably 1,000 from its peak! we finally have a hacky system to handle denials, so that’s really helping here.
we also missed a bunch of cool people, who we’re approving too.
we can now, finally, say that if you register, your judgement (whether approve/deny) should come down within 24-48 hours, although the deny email might take longer than that depending on circumstances.
Encouraging progress. Though I’d suspect that clearing the backlog alone may not resolve the problem some users have had with a perpetually stalled signup attempt.
