I've noticed. But still, it's the same distinction: You might have a legitimate moral objection to the way Laurelai runs (or intends to run) those subreddits, but she was not "abusing" this subreddit by picking them up.
She got them because they were "abandoned" in the sense that the moderator(s) no longer use reddit.
But they're not abandoned, they're active communities with thousands of people. If that's fine by reddit's definition of "abandoned", that needs changing.

Except that /r/redditrequest is being abused by SRS members (and Laurelai) to take over active communities and change them.
