How long does it take for a geocache to be approved? And how do I know if it got declined?

[sparsh_k]

I placed and submitted a geocache and just wanted to know how long it would take and how would you know if it got declined? Thanks.

Here’s a help center article that might help:

Scroll to Section 6.13, about the review process.

Hi sparsh_k, your cache has already been reviewed. There are some problems, the reviewer note explains them, and what to do about them.

Here's a link that will take you to your unpublished caches LINKY

 

Open the cache, and see the note at the top. It's truncated, to read it all, scroll down on the page, the rest of the log is there.

 

You can see the reviewer's log both on the cache page, and it's been sent to the email address you gave the site.  You can see that email address here

As palmetto said, you should have received an email with the reviewer's comments. If you didn't get this email, check your spam folder to see if it's in there. You'll want to make sure emails from geocaching.com don't get marked as spam, because this is how you'll get notified when the reviewer asks you for more information, when the cache gets published, and when people start finding your cache.
