What do I do if I see multiple suspected spammers targeting a subreddit via r/redditrequest?

Last month, I saw a less popular gacha game character subreddit get tagged by the ModSupportBot for adoption since all the previous moderators were banned from the site. I then saw someone acquire it through redditrequest, so I DMed the modmail offering my genre experience help to the new moderator, but I never received a response, and the new moderator never unrestricted the subreddit. Then today I saw a different person request and instantly acquire the same subreddit, but somehow, this person's account does not even have verified email. I am afraid this could be the prelude to a spam attack which I have seen befall other similar subreddits. Is there a report form for this scenario?

Bizarre comment removal problem in r/redditrequest

[desktop and mobile]

I have been trying to advise an acquaintance with his first attempt to become a subreddit moderator for one of his interests via redditrequest. His account is many years old and has thousands of both post and comment karma, and thus a decent CQS. But when he posted to redditrequest and cued up the obligatory bot question of his intentions, his comment in response was instantly removed despite his post being visible to external observers. None of his attempts to provide the required comment could become visible. No one ever showed up to give him an acceptance or rejection. I have never heard of this kind of problem happening before.

Now I guess I can't do much as a bystander besides tell my acquaintance to trying navigating the very frustrating robotic loops of redditrequest's modmail, but I was hoping to get some insight for him because the ModSupport sub is way too triggerhappy in removing questions for "relevance" grounds.

What to do when approached to sell a subreddit?

Earlier today, I requested and successfully acquired moderatorship of a gacha game character subreddit. Soon afterwards, a complete stranger with very little activity whatsoever on Reddit DMed me personally to ask "yo bro i saw the sub are you interested to give it out for a good amount?" As far as I know, buying and selling control of subreddits is against Reddit's ToS. Is there anything I should do besides click "Report" in my DMs?

Is it alright to manually approve posts by a new Reddit user caught by the reputation filter?

Today in a gacha gaming character subreddit I mod, I checked the moderation log and found the reputation filter had nixed a post by new account on Reddit. The post is a perfectly normal image upload, including a link to the Pixiv source of the artwork in a comment. I was just wondering, am I doing anything wrong with any unspoken policies by manually approving the post in disagreement with the reputation filter?

As the subreddit in question is less than 2 months old and has yet to pick up more traction, this is my first encounter with moderating a reputation filter action. Does the reputation filter just happen to a lot of people these days? I found the account listed in r/BotBouncer!
