View submission: Some changes to the Redditrequest process

I think that the email verification is a good idea, but 28 days seems excessively low. Inexperienced Redditors could potentially take over subreddits with a decent amount of activity, which would lead to problems like spam, especially as most of the subreddits being requested have already been banned previously for lack of moderation or spam issues.

28 days seems excessively low.

That's what is was originally. They're just putting it back the way it was...probably because of the new email requirement, which is probably going to lower the number of requests.

28 days isn't excessively low, it's a whole ass month. Not everyone spends their entire life on reddit like you. This is a good, necessary change.
