Hey Yishan, thanks for your time and for an answer that has been many months in the making :).

Erik or someone banned every account I ever had after I started asking questions in the magnet thread. I've actually gone by many names on here; but you can call me gatsby, sure.

We can lay it to rest sure (although Alexis living very close to some of the biggest mods of this site is of concern when it comes to "R and D", obviously), and sorry if I fucked up anything for n0thing with regards his announcement (and yes, nyrd is a great pun). I won't say anything else about that until he does.

But will I stop watching reddit for nefarious content manipulation? No.

Personally I think you should make me the SEO sheriff...let people report possible manipulation to me, I'll keep everything private under an NDA, and I'll be in your corner until the next migration :).

I asked Alexis quite a few times to address the NYRD thing, and he was always like "No, no, that guy's just a crackpot. Don't spoil my announcement!" He finally relented this time.

Anyhow, we're on the lookout for nefarious content manipulation too, because anything that damages the organic curation of content is a threat to the very core of what makes reddit special, *and thus the viability of our own jobs.*

So that's fine, we appreciate your sentiment. But just please stop vote-cheating and brigading, because that's *nefarious content manipulation* too, okay?

Maybe they banned you because it was funny? to freak you out?

Just like when I answer the door to Jehovah's witnesses in satanic wizard robes.
