Could this hurt Reddit's credibility? Seems like it's kind of a big deal.

I'd think so. Now we _know_ admins can and have edited comments without people knowing. Makes you wonder if they've done it in the past.

Reddit never had credibility to lose. Reddit is a link aggregator with comments, not NPR.
