Chill out, they will approve your sounds soon, you just have to have a little patience -.-
They’ve got a ton of submissions and responsibilities, and they’re all doing this on top of everything else. Freesound wouldn’t exist without them, so a little patience goes a long way.
They also have other stuff to do outside of the internet, including work, games, fun, responsibilities, so sound approval may take a long time, but it will eventually get approved.
Hi ChristmasKrumble666,
Some of your tickets were deferred for inappropriate descriptions. Others seem to be songs or in the grey lines of, which is more appropriate on other platforms such as Bandcamp or Soundcloud etc...
They're currently assigned to another moderator. I would suggest easing the process for them by keeping a simple description including information such as :
-A very simple one phrase subject description such as "Synthesised ambience of ____" "Recording of _____" etc...
-How the sound was created, what equipment/software was used.
-Date of recording, location if applicable and if you're comfortable with that.
And avoiding any creepy pasta, fabricated stories, anything irrelevant to the sound, etc...
More information about descriptions here :

When it comes to music, we generally accept jingles (under 1min) or abstract ambience pieces.
Loops and stems are also very welcome!
We're currently discussing clearer guidelines to narrow down the grey area of music vs noise vs ambience vs stem/bus etc...
Currently, fellow moderators have been doing a rather good job at cleaning up the queue. Tickets seem to be handled within a day for the past week or two.
Tickets that take more time are either music or NSFW / sexual acts, stuff we're not all comfortable to handle; but they eventually are handled when a volunteer moderator more comfortable with that stuff logs in.
Thanks for understanding.
