If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
You don't need to be staff to do that, just rename page and link it to the approval thread. They've never done it for me I've always had to do it myself.
