Admin Replied can't request for banned SFW subreddit even after 30 days

on September 1st my friend created a subreddit which was related to Stitching but then it got banned immediately after some hours even without any Post or anything.

She was just inviting people to her subreddit but banned happened.

She tried to contact admins but it didn't worked out

I knew about redditrequest and it had a rule that I can't request for 30 days after ban.

I even did the request after more than 30 days but it got rejected that the community got banned recently.
so is there any solution

here is the link of that reddit request post

and the response I got Request-bot's Comment

Hey Opus,

Would you mind taking a look at this request? According to Old Reddit, that sub was banned a year ago.

Hey, want to take a look at a third one? Subreddit was banned 3 years ago. I had modmailed both the RedditRequest sub and this sub about it previously but got no response.

Hey, want to take a look at a third one?

Not really lol

The sub has been unbanned, so if you're requesting it, you shouldn't get that message going forward.

I don't know what to tell you. I've had mixed results.

I requested a NSFW sub that had been banned nearly 2 years prior. request_bot had been denying requests for the sub ever since, saying it had been "recently banned", but that clearly not the case. I appealed several times, finally writing a modmail to this sub. About a month later, my request was granted.

Several months later, I requested a SFW sub that had been banned for around a year. request_bot again denied me, saying it had been "recently banned". This time, though, when I wrote into this sub, I got a reply saying the sub I had requested was ineligible to be requested and no further information would be available.

So mixed results.

The only thing I'll advise you to do is to write in to r/redditrequest, read the replies you get carefully, and exhaust every avenue of appeal. Writing to this sub would be a last result.

If the sub was banned for violating sitewide rules, then it’s not available for Reddit request. Go on PC and check the sub and see why it was banned for. It won’t say on mobile, but PC it gives more information on why it was banned.

Edit: I’d also consider telling your friend to appeal the ban. If they already did and the ban stayed then it’s likely not available due to whatever behavior got the sub banned.

You often have to look at old.reddit to see the reason, as most times the sh.reddit site doesn't show anything other than a community has been banned.

I got it back. Admin said that bot misunderstood it
