I noticed in the rules that “calls to action” or whatever must have prior approval, but I’m not really sure how to do that. Just email any moderator? What forum would that go in?

I’m not one to do something like this, but a friend asked me to help her and this is the only online place I visit a lot 🙂

Email or PM any mod with the details (exact wording is helpful). They’ll bring it to the mod loop for approval and can help you decide on a forum.
