#RedditRequest
Fun fact: I picked up a Stepford Wives subreddit ~7 years ago that was derelict, pointed it at /r/GenderCritical, & a TERF / SWERF / TradWife tried (unsuccessfully) to RedditRequest it away from me

Eventually I handed it to a literature enthusiast

Someone's in need of a release? Come here and let's have some fun, hun~ I took a request from a Reddit user months ago that's no longer there 😓, but I kept his request saved ^^ #NSFW #NSFWDrawing #NSFWArt #ArtCommission #CommissionRequest #RedditRequest #NSFWCommission

@anonymouscomrade.bsky.social I went diving into the subreddit mod history for r/redpanels and r/stonetoss — might have ID’s another reddit user account operated by stonetoss, u/RastaLasagna

Here’s an OC request from Gh_stboi on Reddit! #OC #redditrequest

there're no archives of it pre 2021 on way back machine so it was likely a small unrelated sub that got repurposed after the original mod voluntarily handed it over or the new mods got it via RedditRequest for being abandoned

oh yeah, for those of you wondering about me finding a way to resurrect the Topless Topics #reddit subreddit I made for my own channel after reddit banned the sole account I had as moderator, I guess no dice:

You might be able to submit a r/redditrequest to get the sub and then bring in new moderators!

Have fun!

There are two abandoned subreddits which can become a big place for Wikipedia criticism, namely "/r/wikipediasucks" and "/r/meanwhileonwikipedia". Wouldn't it be great if we get the subs through /r/redditrequest?

Maybe if you have a Reddit account with big karmas and activities you can go to /r/redditrequest to request perms for either /r/meanwhileonwikipedia or /r/wikipediacriticism, because Reddit admins seems to leave open the possibility that the latter can be resurrected.

Thanks! The reason why I brought that up is because I saw that a shared account on Reddit that is possibly operated by Ron Merkle, was attempting to request one of the abandoned subs to no avail since they didn't verify their email address.

From the redditrequest community on Reddit: Requesting /r/meanwhileonwikipedia, because all the moderators are either inactive or suspended

If it's actually only due to being unmoderated, someone should be able to go request to be made a mod on r/redditrequest and reopen it.

In 30 days you can make a request on r/redditrequest to take over the mod position if it did actually get banned for not being moderated.

That way can get it back up and archive it, or just actually mod it.

If anyone is enrolled at Curtin Uni, or subscribed to /r/curtin, someone has submitted a request to hand over the subreddit to them - https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/1kmb351/requesting_rcurtin/

You can request to take ownership of abandoned subreddits through r/RedditRequest.

Would that be /r/anacrusisthegame? The sole mod of that hasn’t been active in 89 days, so you might have a shot of getting control back over on /r/RedditRequest. I’d say you have a shot of getting it, seeing as the last post seems to be from 4 years ago.

4a. if they say no - that's kinda it
4b. if they don't respond - go to r/RedditRequest to request taking over the subreddit. Reddit won't give it to you if the existing mod team is active, if you aren't "active", or if you've never moderated a subreddit before, so all the other stuff is key

does not seem overly incredible

/r/temu -- This subreddit was banned due to being used for spam. If you'd like to take it over please make a post in /r/redditrequest.
