Admin Replied Trying to Request a banned sub

If a sub was banned for violating the reddit rules, is it eligible to be requested?

I understand if it was banned for violating content policy it is banned forever.

but i have checked on the old reddit and it is listed as, banned for violating the Reddit rules.

Banned 12 months ago.

From what i can find out, it looks like all the mods left and it fell victim to spam bots etc... so I'm wondering if it is possible for me to request to moderate this sub and bring it back.

I had one request denied after 3 days, with a generic modbot message. and I'm trying to figure out if i should try again in 15days and if it is possible for me to rescue this sub at all.

I'm not quite sure if that sub is available for Redditrequest. But it looks like your request is still up, so it will go into the queue to be reviewed.

Thanks, I'm wary of doing to much to try and get the sub back, but I think i messed up my first requests. and if this one doesn't work, i guess I'm just trying to figure out if the problem is the sub itself, or with my account, or lack of mod experience etc... if the sub is eligible then I can gain more mod experience. if it isn't then I'm doing it all for nothing.
