So.. it's worth mentioning this sub has been requested five previous times, I assume it's been denied each time as nothing has changed. Your request will likely be denied, too, as you didn't (at least in the post) send a message to the current mod of this sub and link it in the request. I'd recommend including some things you (or the sub in general) want to change/add/do, anything that could change when a new mod takes over.

If it's been denied five previous times, I assume that means the current mod is still active in some way on reddit - just not visibly on this sub.

Good luck though, I hope you (or someone else) can take over and make some changes.
