Using r/redditrequest has brought me 0 abandoned subreddit so far

[clipix68]

Is anyone using r/redditrequest?
So far I have tried to get a few subreddits I was interested in but never succeeded.

I have a few Reddit accounts from which I'm sending the requests but it's either I don't get a reply or I get a negative one:

Hey there,
Thanks for taking the time to submit this request. Unfortunately we have decided not to approve your request at this time. There are other reasons beyond moderator activity that we take into consideration when reviewing these requests that are at admin discretion. We appreciate you taking the time to request this sub.
Thanks!

Any guide on how to do it? Do they notice if I switch accounts on the same PC? Same IP?

Same shit... can't get a single abandoned subreddit through redditrequest. Only managed to get 1 without a moderator.
It's so bloody annoying.

I managed to get one sub with around 600 users. This was like after applying for 3 other subs and nada.

Wierd. I request a new subreddit once a month. They usually approve it within 2 months or so.

The key is to make sure the moderator is not active at all. You also need some sort of karma on some subreddits.

Make sure you say something along this:

Requesting reddit.com/r/Grossroommates. Mod is inactive and I'd like to revive this awesome community.

Good luck

I do, I also write what are my plans.

Probably I will need to do it from some clean, non-spammy looking account. Probably they are also checking the post history also..

I've gotten 3 abandoned subs using RR. Are you bombing them with multiple applications from multiple connected (IP etc) accounts at once? If they detect systematic applications they will reject. They don't want to give away a lot of abandoned subs, they want to find people that especially want to improve specific subs.

It took me 6 months to get all 3 subs. Need patience.

Yeah, similar shit.
I write everything... and I use accounts (2 accounts to be precise) with 2k+ karma.
So far no luck.

It seems as though within the last few months they've become a bit more strict on who they award subs to. I suspect that if you have some spammy posts they will reject your request.

I’m 3/4

make sure you have activity on the account, non-spam shit.
alternate IP’s between accounts. A simple vpn will do. Also if possible comment or make a post on the subreddit your requesting. Make sure it’s related to the subreddit
