Tab submissions approval

I have some pending tab submissions that have been sitting for over a month. Maybe it's just backed up or the “one guy”'s been sick or something but I just wanted to ask about it.

Thanks,
Trav

It is one guy who approves the tabs, and I know he's been pretty busy lately. Not sure when he'll catch up, but trust that they're in the queue to get approved.

What nick said. Johnny (our admin) is the sole tab approver, he just has a lot on his plate right now (in a good way; we should all have so happy and fulfilling a life, that jerk!). But he'll get to them the instant he has the available time.

If you need help with anything else, feel free to PM me or ask here on the boards.
i also have a tab that's been sitting for a month now. maybe there needs to be a second (or even third?) person who can approve submissions? this is a “bus factor” scenario…

Loudlon actually has 18 pending tabs now. It has been a while since any were approved.

I was almost to 19, but I started a new job a few days ago that has left me with precious little free time. The second half of “The Sails of Charon” by Scorpions is just gonna have to wait.

I finally gotten through all the pending tabs. If someone still has something let me know, might've gotten eaten by the spam filter.

Better here than ultimate guitar. There, anyone can deny or approve you tabs and there seems to be a lot of trolls that denies your submission because you don't write it like they do.
yeah but now not much is happening here so that's a shame

I got frustrated with that kind of BS back when, which is why I found BBT. It's irksome being edited by other users, many of whom aren't as skilled or knowledgeable as you, or because you're not writing to UG's restrictive auto-format guidelines. That didn't stop me from submitting tabs there altogether, but it did make me far less prolific there than here.

UG does allow you to post tabs without interference from other users once you reach a certain level (level 4). I reached level 4 there about a month ago – despite not having posted a tab there since July of last year. But I get notifications often of new tab ratings, so I assume that number of tab ratings plays a factor in your levelling up. I've yet to try and submit anything since being notified I reached that level, though. In fact I haven't tabbed anything at all since September of last year (lots of personal stuff going on, don't have the time or really the temperament lately). And even if I did have a tab to submit, I'd submit it here and wait for it to be published on BBT first.

Yeah, this place at one point had an active forum. But social media seems to have killed interest in message boards. We must still be getting good traffic, though, otherwise I imagine Johnny would have closed up shop by now.
