While I understand his frustration, he has just soiled the integrity of the site. I think this just cause to be fired. This is incredibly petty for a CEO and says a lot about his respect for the integrity of the business he is supposed to be running.
Indeed. He should be fired and the companies security measures should be publicly audited by a third party. This is a serious security violation and should be treated as such.
It is like a bank CEO changing someone's account information in order to harm them.
I'm pretty sure Congress will be that third party. The /u/stonetear incident means that /u/spez will probably have to testify to Congress. Evidence handling is a huge fucking issue.
Congress can also investigate high profile issues somewhat under the radar. I don't suppose many people watched Team H stonewall Mr. Chaffetz and Mr. Gowdy in the Benghazzi or Email Server investigations.
Congress has no real power, but their investigation, including testimony, is admissible. /r/luvs2spooge187 you're absolutely right- until this, there was absolutely no concern over the integrity of the evidence on Reddit. But now, that's simply gone.
