Hmm... A few new authors have been asking this same question. I think Tony-sama needs to put a notification or whaddya-call-that-info-info thing that tells authors "new series are manually approved." ooooor there's already this kind of thing but I completely missed it when I published my two (hiatus) series since I already know it needs to be manually approved... Hmm
Perhaps. It may be annoying, but recommend just slapping a quick guide book on the user's create dashboard. This way before they create chapter and go asking the question why haven’t they seen it yet, they see this default guide first and flip through it.
I forgot since I joined months ago now, but do we have a ScribbleHub Manual or Guide? One that is not on the Forum but on the direct ScribbleHub page. Like say when you first joined, and there's a default story in your dashboard that shows you all the steps on how to navigate around and create...

Its not just bolded slightly bigger italicized font, but its big; literally a block on their dashboard you should not be able to miss. Just a thought, for those who may disagree, it actually might help. Especially if they forgot the guidelines after reading it, or can't find it bc they didn't dig enough through page(s).
Like how I agree on "Terms and Conditions" without reading the entirety of it. Lol
As many have probably done. Which is also is not smart. Even if you forget the terms and services, always read to make sure you won't be cheated/scammed/used on. Thats how people find WebNovel contracts are shitty deals.
I think not many people pay attention to the footer which list terms and services; the help center on the footer also has the reading list and faq.
One thing I would like to point out though is that it can take some time digging to find the content guidelines. It only shows in under content warning when on a series' Details. I do not see see this specific page linked anywhere on the Sh main page unless I specifically google ScribbleHub Guidelines. The closest thing is Terms and Services though Content Guidelines is actually a different page than Terms and Services. Terms and Services is viewable in the footer of ScribbleHub.
Content Guidelines is not in the footer and, unfortunately, is not even linked on the faq. While you should already see this if you have an actual series created, this may be useful since you occasionally see people on SHF asking what kind of content is allowed.
But there's also the very first message on ScribbleHub that addresses this faq (it Does Not link to content guideline pages though, only help center which has reading lists and faqs). Many people like to jump right in because they think they can get on with it right away. That or its not painted in Big Bold letters for them.
