I'm aiming to increase community engagement for a sub that I mod. This sub revolves around its long wiki which is exclusively maintained by only a few (2-3) mods. (no public editing).

However individual information within the wiki may become dated. There has only been one internal QA check and it took days. I'd like to engage the community in the short term by offering an award to a user who finds and posts out-dated information from the wiki (I would award that post).

Conceptually this is similar to a bounty for a software bug report though the intent is a small short-term event of 1-2 awards to publicize it, not a long-term program of regular bounties.

The hope is that this would help kick off a new type of community engagement for this sub, one that may become self-sustaining.

Then I realized offering an award bounty might be against overall Reddit rules. Is it?

Probably not relevant to this question but use win desktop browser to moderate

Topic of sub is r/snuffleupapuss, a humor (and SFW) Cat sub.

I noticed it was unmoderated and locked to private posts. I was about to submit a redditrequest post, then I realized within the past month or two it is now "banned for being unmoderated".

My understanding is I can't use the r/redditrequest process to request mod.

Can I request mod here through modsupport? I would like to revive the sub as a Public sub.

Thank you. (FYI I've previous used redditrequest so I think I should qualify for the basic hurdles)

Go to top of sub, and click three bars-> Change User Flair
