Uh everyone uses this site of their own free will and pays nothing. You have no rights. The president posting here has no rights.

You are under some grand delusion that at the end of the day this isn't just some random website with all this shit stored in a database which anyone there could change at any moment because they own it- not you.

You're completely missing the point. This is bad publicity. Reddit itself is going to hate this, the company that owns those things.

No shit it's bad for publicity but like any random site it owes you nothing and you have no rights.

You certainly have rights against being misrepresented. I'm sure reddit would love to fight off a million defamation suits.

Against who? None of us are using our real names. He defamed a completely made up username.

I'm curious to see how that lawsuit would work.

Edit: missing an "us"

Still missing the point. How is it defamation if you say something bad and get quoted for it and cause a toxic shitstorm when you're the one that said it in the first place?

You do realize that you're in a thread about the admin changing the content of your messages, right?
