View submission: /r/xkcd kerfuffle megathread
Right, thanks! It does seem a bit weird though that you can just claim moderation of a subreddit if you are not an active member of the community. But I am sure that I am not the first one to notice this.

I absolutely agree. However that /r/redditrequest sub is for requesting control of dead subs as well as unmoderated subs. You can't really be an active member of a dead sub, and I guess it can be tricky to categorise the two types of requests - usually the two just go hand in hand.
