Earlier today, Doc posted a request to all of us here. He asked that we all please try and help the members who are waiting on their posts to be moderated.
A simple email to Admin might help. Maybe if they receive enough requests, those waiting will see approval.
Here is his post if you missed it:
Lets Help Authors Waiting Moderation
I sent an email to Admin earlier today asking to please approve the posts waiting to be moderated. Some are waiting over ten days. That is driving members away from the site. Unacceptable in my book. They submit their posts, and then they wait. And wait… and wait.
I hope to get a reply, or just approve the posts. That is all I would like to see. Approval. I hope if you are one of these authors waiting for approval, you can hold on a little longer.
Some of us here are trying our best to help you. We appreciate you and want to see your posts approved and published.

By bombarding them with our requests, they will sure give in because the site derives its being from users contributing. It looks these days the waiting period is too long. It used to be 3-5 days.
I am in.
Why not bombard to get their attention, that is what I say. We have to do something to get a response. Nothing else is working. Thanks for your support.
You are right. Knock knock knock until they get out of their bed and open it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Did I mention Thank you? Or possibly you rock? You are awesome! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
And thank you as well, as a group we have to try to stay together and maintain the members that are here.
the power is in us if we choose to take it, we have the content!
It is 11 days since I sent an article to Virily. I send an email to remind them it every morning. This is so frustrating and sad. They have not converted the posts into drafts either. I have sent the article again. Nothing happens. The articles are still pending. Thanks a lot for your help
If Admin does not care about its writers, I wonder if they would care about writer’s complaints too.
I think that they just care about making money from this site, as easily as they can.
I also have an article in limbo for over a week now too.
That is thing about lack of communication. The answer is we do not know.
I have been talking about the for years now. Nothing has changed.
But for some reason I keep trying.
That seems to be a good idea. Only one thought if admin is taking so long to approve posts because perhaps they are running behind how will they feel about being bombarded with emails?
Doc thought of it and I agree 110%. I have no idea, just thought it might help. Maybe I gave them too much benefit by thinking maybe there are at least two people working. One for emails. One to moderate. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this, Carol. I believe it is very important that members should be able to post without waiting a week or more to see their work appear. Email sent. Another one tomorrow.
You are welcome Norman. Trying to help. Thanks for your support as well.
That’s a great idea. I hope we succeed. I have already sent an email to the administrators.
Thanks for the email! I hope so too, we will keep going for now.
@CarolDM – how do I email administrators
Perhaps…. support@virily.com is the email address to use.
Thanks for this email address. The one under “contact us” does not work.
I also sent them a few emails about my articles not being moderated for nearly two weeks now, and also I sent them an email requesting that I be made a verified author now, as it will lessen their workload in moderating.
Perhaps a few more should request this status, because I know of at least one person, who this was granted to, after they requested it for themselves.
Perhaps some instructions on how to email them would be helpful.
Perhaps…. support@virily.com is the email address to use.
Well I just used that one. Hope that it helps.
Hope so too, time will tell. Thanks!
Yes, I will need to email them. I submitted a post and have been waiting 3 days for approval now.
I hope you get approval soon, an email might help at this point. Thanks for your comment as well.
