How can I find out what happens to "cleared" bands

Today I was looking for the first time at the Prog Metal's Team Voting Chart.

Looking at this chart I was wondering what does happen to bands with the status "cleared" or "new"?
I checked the forum but I couldn't find any answers.

In the chart I also noticed some "cleared" or "new" bands I'm very enthousiastic about. If I can be of any help in providing more information on these bands, I'm more than willing. But how?

I'm not on the PMT, but I used to be the co-leader of the Art Rock team, and I know how those charts work. Usually, a 'cleared' band gets added as soon as someone has the time to write up a bio and discography. A 'new' band, instead, has just been added to the chart, and is therefore waiting to be assessed by the team members.

The answer to your second question is that you can provide bios and discographies for the bands you like, and send them to the team, so you can save them the work involved in writing them up (it can be very time-consuming, as I know quite well). Only Special Collabs can add bands, but the author of the bio is always credited at the end of it.
