Is there a way to persuade the admins in redditrequest to hand over a subreddit which was "banned for violating rule 2" if I can show the subreddit had normal activity?

I am a fan of several video games who makes use of redditrequest to rescue abandoned character mains subreddits to prevent all their old content from being lost by installing a new moderator team and clearing out any accumulated spam. I don't presume I can necessarily surpass the previous height of activity, but I do want all the old discussions of game mechanics and fanart to remain accessible resources to future fans stumbling across such subreddits. I hope doing so repeatedly in redditrequest is not frowned upon by any policies.

Earlier this year, I observed a subreddit for a less popular character in Wuthering Waves. Sadly, this subreddit had petered out in terms of getting love from people and had become locked. I don't know if the founding moderator deleted their account or got banned. While I was handling a different request of my own, I saw someone else acquire this particular subreddit through redditrequest. I DMed the character subreddit to congratulate them and offer to join their modteam to keep an eye out for spam etc. I never received a response, and later that month, I saw that two more moderators been added, but the subreddit had not been reopened to new posts from users in general. Then I saw some new posts which were suspicious financial advertisements. Then the next week, I saw that the subreddit now said "This community was banned for violating Rule 2."

Is it a hard policy that admins don't hand over subreddits banned for Rule 2 violations? I feel like banning the subreddit outright was an extreme reaction to a few spam posts. I have some screenshots showing a year's worth of intermittent regular activity as of the start of 2026.
