After 24 hours, and baladamy doesn't see their thread up, then he can PM one of the moderator's of that forum asking if it had been looked at as of yet like mentioned earlier. If unapproved, the moderator will possibly notify the member themselves, or the member can PM them and ask for the reason behind it and improve on it afterward so it's approved and up the next time.Or maybe your hack just doesn't qualify for Progressing Hacks. If not, work on it a little.
Or maybe your hack just doesn't qualify for Progressing Hacks. If not, work on it a little. We used to have a sub-section called Crap- I mean "Scrapbox", but it became so worthless and crammed with piles of 1% completed hacks that it got removed.
That could have been solved by emptying said scrapbox if the hack did not progress within a month.
By removing threads that didn't improve within a month, you motivate people to either take up the scrapped hacks and finish them or let them be deleted.
