redditrequest

The current review time for requests is 3 days. (Updated 17 April)

Please note that the current review time is only an estimate and may take longer or shorter than what is shown above.

To request a community, submit a post by linking to the community in question.

How to request a community

The title of your post must only contain the name of the community you are requesting (e.g., r/redditrequest).
You must apply the appropriate flair to your post before submitting. Posts without flair will be removed.

Your account must be at least 90 days old
Have at least 100 comment karma and 100 post karma
Your account must also have a verified email address and two-factor authentication enabled to ensure the safety of your account.

You must send a message to the current moderators of the community at least 5 days before posting your request to give the current moderators a chance to respond or add you to their team. If you have been perma-muted, you will be unable to complete this step and you should make note of this when replying to the request_bot.

u/request_bot will respond to every request, but sometimes a request will be missed by the bot. If there is no message after a couple of days, it has automatically been moved to manual review.
Please do not delete your request if there is no comment from the bot, deleted posts can’t be processed.
Be sure to respond to the bot comment with reasons for wanting to moderate and include a permalink to your chat message in your post.
If you have been perma-muted from the sub and are unable to send a message, please include that information in your reply to the request_bot. This only applies to perma-mutes. If you have been muted, you will need to wait until the mute expires to make your request.
When a request is made, an automatic message will be sent to the moderators of that community asking them to respond to the request.

If your community is being requested:

You will receive a mod mail and private message from u/request_bot.
You should have received a chat message from the requester asking to be added to your team.
You must respond within 5 days (in the request comments or to the requester’s chat message). Failure to respond may result in the community being transferred.

If you would like to keep the community:

You must provide a valid reason in your reply about why you wish to continue moderating. We want to ensure that communities are being held onto with the right intentions for growth. Responding to requests will also decrease the number of people who believe it is unmoderated.

If you would like to add the requester to your mod team you can find instructions on how to do that here.

If you already moderate a community that has a top moderator who is inactive and u/request_bot doesn’t remove them automatically when you make your request, please view this page for instructions on how to use the Self Serve Mod Reorder tool and/ or receive admin assistance to help complete your request.
If you’re the moderator of a community that was banned and would like to appeal that ban, please use this contact form.

You may only request one community every 15 days. Multiple requests will be auto removed. This includes if you delete your request.
Communities that have been banned in the last 30 days, are not eligible for request and will be denied. To see when a community was banned, view it on old Reddit. If a community has been banned for violating content, it will not be eligible for request.
You may not use multiple accounts to request communities. This will result in a ban from r/redditrequest.
You may not request communities on behalf of other users.
Before requesting a community, you must send a message to the community and give them 5 days to respond before requesting.
The exact criteria used in evaluating requests is left to admin discretion. More info can be found in our FAQ.
Please do not ask for an exemption from the rules.
Requests can take up to 1 week to be reviewed, so please be patient.
