There's no SLA for moderating posts - all the mods are volunteers, so it depends on the forum, the number of mods for that forum and how busy they are in their day jobs. It ranges from a few minutes in a busy forum with lots of mods to several hours in a forum such as this, with few mods. No notification is sent if a post isn't approved. Unapproved posts can't be edited. Of course, it's possible to post again.
