anyone have a contact at mgid, I have had ads in moderation since last friday
It's just Wednesday now + the holidays (easter). If this is your first campaign, it might take some time.
I would recommend waiting for another day or two - if not find someone here on STM from MGID and hit them up.
double-check it with your support from it. it would be a pity if your campaign got declined after such a long time. support might reply faster. but overall I wouldn't say your campaigns are approved faster on a trusted account. it's all done manually out there, and from what I can tell little details regarding creative requirements change every month if not more often 
Best thing is to ping your AM there if you have one (used to need $500 deposit to secure your own AM), he will speed your campaigns approval.
Hi, Lorenzo. I'm here with MGID. I've sent you PM, please check it and let me know your login
Just deposit $500 and you got your AM and you are good to go.
