My friend has signed up for a Steemit account on February 12 and today it is February 27. It has been 15 days and still no approval.

New Steemit account creations have fallen off dramatically. This is in the same timeframe that my friend was trying to sign up. There could very well be many others that just can't get an account. I know that the account approval process is manual to prevent bots from creating accounts that have seed currency. However, what has happened to the Steemit account approval team? Are they on vacation? Do they need help? This is serious and needs to be fixed!
