    Kind of line when /u/spez edited comments of users calling attention to systemic issues on reddit?

      What?

      He went on Trump’s sub and tried to get them to like him by editing their comments…

      If that’s what you mean. Weird way to phrase it.

        Still a shitty thing to do. As a site admin for millions of people, that person has an ethical and potentially legal obligation to not touch the internal database.

        If he did it to those users, who else’s comments did he edit?

          I’m sorry that you completely missed the point of my comment

            No I understood just fine, but that precedent is a far bigger issue than whatever side of the fence you sit on.
