Ellen Pao Is Stepping Down as Reddit’s Chief

So when I said FAQ I was referring to the FAQ links at the bottom, which deal explicitly with SRS (see also https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3cxedn/i_am_steve_huf...) and with brigading vs harassment. By FAQ I did not mean "paragraph".

> Which is a blatant lie, as everyone knows.

I don't know that, and upon further inspection it is not obviously a lie, and is actually pretty reasonable. How did you determine that everyone knows this?

Um. So, SRS presents the up arrow as down arrow, and scores as negative, via its subreddit CSS.

I believe that tends to violate site rules.

Ah, here's where the change was proposed: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitRedditSays/comments/p0yaf/meta_...

Seems like this is vote manipulation

Sorry I misunderstood your references, makes a more sense now, but I still disagree for the reasons stated in the edit above.

> I don't know that, and upon further inspection it is not obviously a lie, so there must be something wrong with your ability to deduce things if you feel that everyone knows that.

Once a conversation reaches the point of pedantry it's generally a good idea to just stop.
