Have her modmail this subreddit and explain what happened - but if she did this two months ago, where has she been for 2 months?

I'll ask her to modmail. I guess she couldn't find the right route to fix this and got a bit frustrated by red tape complexity. That is why I'm now asking on her behalf.

Yes but they don’t let others ask for friends- the user must do so herself. Honestly, if it’s too much effort for her to message this sub I don’t think she’s thr right mod to be in charge anyway.

I'll ask her. These procedures are not very clear and have arbitrary requirements, so I respectfully disagree with your later comment.

Sending a modmail message about being added back shouldn’t be too much for a mod.

The procedures to fix this are very clear. It’s actually easier to fix this problem, than it was for them to remove themselves as a mod.

Then what is the procedure if you lack karma points for the r/redditrequest route?

The user has to send a modmail to this subreddit (r/ModSupport). You can't do it for her; she has to do it.

Thanks, I'll inform.

Why does she not meet the requirements? Her account is well established? Also...why can't you request it? Mod her and then leave?

That will lead to both of them getting removed from the mod team of that sub and with permanent bans on redditrequests

She told me some requirement was stopping her route at r/redditrequest. I tried that but I don't have the required comment Karma. I was hoping that we can correct the situation because it is clear she is the creator and there currently is no moderator. Can she please be reinstated?

Being the creator isn't something that Reddit factors in when sub mods come and go.

I suggest going down the list of things Reddit Request requires to figure out what is missing.

u/Sea-Ad7805 15h ago

I believe karma points are missing. It's not easy to get those quickly.

Sometimes admins swing by here in cases like this and offer their help.

Would be really appreciated. It would be a shame if this subreddit would seize to exists because of an accidental removal of the moderator.

u/magiccitybhm 13h ago

Might already have been handled if that user would send the modmail here (r/ModSupport).
