View submission: Some changes to the Redditrequest process
Seems strange to lower the age and karma requirements when the majority of requests already get rejected and the backlog is longer than ever.

Yeah, wouldn’t this make it easier for bad faith actors to potentially take over subs?

Yeah, and they accept random unmodded nsfw subz before purged subz, what is the meaning of that?

It is probably aimed at making it easier for users to request subs on alts to avoid their main accounts being attacked for facilitating a takeover. The functional difference between a bona fide 28 and 90 day old redditor is pretty small anyways.

I don't think so. I have received a few sub when I requested them. I have been rejected for some, but it was mainly due to mods still being active on Reddit (including non-public activity). I think it's fair, because I'm sure the site is growing and more and more people want to grab subs that already has some traction for their vision of it.
