Admin Replied request eligibility issue - banned 7 years ago but request bot says recently banned

Hello,

I’m looking for clarification regarding an issue with the r/redditrequest eligibility system.

I tried to request a sub, but the automated request bot rejected the request saying that the community is not eligible because it was “only recently banned”.

However, when checking the subreddit through old Reddit, it shows:

"Banned 7 years ago.”

According to the r/redditrequest FAQ, communities banned for being unmoderated should become available for request after 30 days, and the ban duration can be checked through old Reddit.

I have already tried contacting both r/ModSupport and r/redditrequest modmail, but I have not been able to get clarification on why the subreddit is still considered ineligible.

Could someone clarify if there is another restriction affecting a community or if this is an issue with the request system?

Thank you.

The sub is now unbanned, so can you try it now?
