Requesting private thread access

[RH9]

Lilith, by 'near future', do you mean in the next month?
If I plan to run an Open in mid-April, would asking S_S now be a terrible idea?

If you need a private review topic, getting game mod permissions a month or two ahead seems reasonable (basically, you should be at or close to the point where your setup is complete and need it reviewed via PT when you request the permissions). By default, you'll receive game mod permissions when your game launches anyway, so you only need to specifically request permissions if you need them before your game launches, i.e. in order to set up a PT for a setup review.

For Opens, you don't need the permissions to create a private review topic because setups are publicly posted to the Open Setup subforum for discussion/review, so you'll receive game mod permissions when your game launches and you don't need to request it separately/ahead of time. If there's some other scenario where you do need to have private threads for some reason, you can reach out to request it.

Thank you.
