And without an "edited" mark, which means that any comment of any user can be covertly modified by an admin. Very concerning since Reddit comments have provoked even Congress hearings: http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/296680-house-pan...

In which people discover admins can admin a database.

Also, ceo of reddit looks like a horrid job.

You could not pay me enough to be CEO of that cesspool. People take Reddit way too seriously.

It is not important to take reddit seriously

It is serious, though, to not discount reddit as important.

The point is that you shouldnt, generally speaking, take reddit as a serious place (puns, memes, trolls, inside-jokes, meta, etc) -- but it is HAS accomplished something very significant; actually achieving being the Frontpage of the Internet....

Look at the chaos and beauty that reddit's userbase can create...

Dont take reddit seriously - but take the people who use reddit serious. Seriously.

if you can leverage them as a LOIC you can achieve some amazing things --- or fuck up really bad...
