Hello, I just want to know how the usual process of these requests would go. Do they give out some sort of confirmation if they have accepted or denied the request, or do they just silently post it on the site? The silence is making me anxious.

Unfortunately, there's no feedback system for us to respond to requests with. Further, we do get dozens of requests per day, the majority of which are images. Images are posted on the site once every 3-4 days. If your request is accepted, it wouldn't be unusual to wait several weeks to see it pop up. Best of luck with them!
