Approved review not published
Hi it’s been six days and my review for Get Yourself a College Girl (#260612-192904-060821) has not been published despite saying it’s approved. I attempted to resubmit and it was rejected for being a duplicate. I assume this is a glitch, something backed up somehow. Any help would be appreciated.
