Ladies, gents, dears and luffies, 

It has come to our attention as staff that not everyone uses the notification thread found here. This announcement is more or less a reminder or a helping suggestion to post in the notification thread.

Though as a staff collective we do try to get as many apps reviewed as possible, we sometimes miss sneakily hidden apps. By posting in this thread with a link to what you want looking at is, quite literally, like slapping a big shiny "mark me" sticker on your application. 

The chances of us giving you a review within a decent turn around is far more likely if you use our notification thread as we do try to go post by post through said thread. It is not mandatory to use the thread, but we can't stress enough how more likely it is that we see your own applications in a quicker manner if you use the thread. 

You may of course not choose to use it, and if that is your chosen decision that's perfectly acceptable. However, we cannot guarantee how quickly we can get around to reviewing hidden applications.
