Normal time from submission of a url to filtering.

What is the normal time from submitting a site for nudity, etc.. till it is added to the filtering list? I have been submitting lots of sites that get stuck waiting. Is there anyway to help these along other than opening a support ticket.  I do not mind submitting and voting on domains to help improve the filtering, but it seems to be a waste of time when the sites do not get filtered. I can add the sites to the black list but this leaves other users open to people who find these sites.

This seems to be a follow-up of https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360018227086 
There was no need to open another thread.  Regardless...

  1. There is no "normal time" until domains are being approved for a category.  It can take between a few hours up to a few years.
  2. And no, there is no other way beside a support ticket to speed it up.  This is the way to go.
  3. Ah wait, there may be another way: you may want to apply as moderator, see here.

I did not know if my question would go missed as just another comment made on the other post, so i made a new post.   I thought that maybe with certain categories there would be a fast track, if you will, due to the type of site. I know that anyone who is determined enough can find or create a hole in almost any filter.  Leaving sites out of the filter that should fall into the most filtered categories seemed as odd. I understand the need for the voting system, but it that sites in certain categories would automatically go to staff for verification. This would prevent them from being used to access material from users networks that they would prefer to be blocked.

I will consider the third.
