Difficulty taking over abandoned subreddits

CharlieDegen said:

Previously, it used to be quite easy to file a request and more often than not it would be granted.

I have tried this a few times in the last 6 months with reputable high karma accounts with mod history however EVERY request now gets rejected.

Anyone else experiencing difficulty taking over mod access of abandoned subreddits?

I have my eye on a few abandoned subreddits. Surely, it's better to revise these than leave them to gather dust.

Is there anyway round it?
