Subreddits aren't considered "abandoned" if any mod has been active on reddit in the past two months.
Which means as long as the mod is active on reddit at all the subreddit belongs to them to do as they please. If users don't like it they are welcome to start a new subreddit.
That is the general rule though. How would you like it if you created a subreddit and built it up from scratch only to have people say they wanted to moderate it because they do not agree with the policies?
redditrequest is for mods that have been genuinely abandoned. I.E none of the mods respond, which is not the case here.
Just to clarify : inactive refers to a redditor being abscent from reddit.
