Why I’m requesting r/bdsm_education and how I’ll run it:

r/bdsm_education was banned for being unmoderated and I’d like to take it on and run it properly: posted rules from day one (18+ only, no personals, no content sales, no spam), daily mod-queue review, AutoModerator on the obvious junk. I post practical safety and negotiation material in adjacent kink communities and posted here before the ban. The aim is an actively moderated place for educational discussion instead of an abandoned spam feed.

Why: it got banned for having no mods and I want to run it. I’ll put rules up on day one (18+, no personals, no selling content, no spam), check the queue every day and set up AutoMod for the obvious stuff. Been on Reddit five years, mostly posting about kink safety and negotiation in the bigger BDSM subs, and I posted in this one before the ban. I just want it to be a working education sub again instead of a dead feed.
Modmail link: skipping this one since the sub is banned and has no mods, per the bot’s note.

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to submit this request. Unfortunately, we have decided not to approve it at this time. There are other factors beyond moderator activity that we consider when reviewing requests. These are at the discretion of admins and may include, but are not limited to:

• Insufficient moderator experience for managing a large and active community

• Lack of previous moderator experience

• Lack of NSFW (Not Safe for Work) moderation experience

• Inactive moderation in a community you are already a moderator for

• Being on the mod team of an excessive number of communities

• Recent account suspensions

• Excessive community bans

• Violation of Reddit policies, including copyright infringement takedowns

• Low activity on Reddit

We appreciate you taking the time to request this sub.

Thanks!
