Covertly editing their posts is basically lying about what they said.

We used to trust that when reddit said a user wrote X, they actually did write X (excluding hacking). This was a violation of that trust.

Downvotes, seriously?

Because of the actions of their CEO, reddit was falsely telling everyone who viewed the relevant comments:

> Fluid_Mechanics [score hidden] some time ago

> Fuck /u/spez

While knowing that Fluid_Mechanics had not written that.

(Names have been changed to illustrate the point.)

Lying, and a violation of trust, seem like appropriate terms.
