> If you remember, the reddit CEO only edited the usernames, that too, I am sure it was a prank.

He edited the mention of a username in a comment and completely changed the meaning of the comment by changing the target.

I'm sure he thought it was a prank, but that shows extremely poor judgement of the CEO of a company that calls itself "the front page of the internet". Just imagine how unacceptable it would be for the Facebook CEO to edit someone's status, or Twitter to edit tweets.

I know, it was terrible. What's more terrible is that he accepted doing that. now _that_ is a lack of judgement. Would the world have noticed that some "fuck you" comments have been changed in /r/TheDonald's subreddit? nopes!
