**Please read before posting**

**Requesters:**

+ Your account must be at least 28 days old and have at least 100 comment karma to request a community. Your account must also have a verified email address.

+ 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.**

+ When a request is made, an automatic message will be sent to the moderators of that community asking them to respond to the request. We allow a 5 day grace period for moderators to receive and respond to this message. 

**Moderators:**

+ 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](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/wiki/top_mod_removal) for instructions on how to use the Self Serve Mod Reorder tool and/ or receive admin assistance to help complete your request.
 
+ If you are already the moderator of a **community that was banned** and would like to appeal that ban, please use [this contact form](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001103212).

+ To be considered active, you **must** be actively moderating your community. 

+ When a request has been made, you will receive a modmail and direct message from u/request_bot informing you of the request.

+ If you would like to continue moderating the requested community **you must reply in the comments of the request or to the modmail message sent by the requester, within 5 days**. Failure to do so may result in the community being eligible for handover. 

+ You must have **valid reasons** when denying the request and explain to the requester and us why you want to keep the community. We want to ensure that communities are being held onto with the right intentions for growth. Responding to requests will 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](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/wiki/faq#wiki_how_do_i_add_a_requester_to_my_mod_team.3F).

**Rules**

+ You may only request **one community every 15 days**.  Multiple requests will be auto removed.

+ 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](old.reddit.com). 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 could result in a ban from r/redditrequest.

+ You may **not** request communities on behalf of other users.

+ When requesting a community, you **must** send a message to the community’s modmail stating your intentions **at the time of your request.** 

+ The exact criteria used in evaluating requests is left to admin discretion. More info can be found in our [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/wiki/faq#wiki_why_was_my_request_denied.3F).

+ Please **do not** ask for an exemption from the rules.

+ Requests can take up to **2 weeks** to be reviewed, so please be patient.
