Is it acceptable to explain what happened on ycombinator or is the information banned here too? This is all documented on the Reddit admin concerneds Wikipedia page. It is relatively common knowledge in the UK.

Reddit hired an admin.

a) the admin's father is a convicted peadophile, he tortured a child in the house he shared with said admin.

b) the admin hired her father (post conviction) as her election agent.

c) the admin claimed not to know the full details of her fathers prosecution for torturing a child.

d) the admin was suspended from a UK political party after her partner tweeted peadophilic fantasies.

Is it not unsurprising that this created a disastrous situation for moderation and PR on Reddit? How on earth did Reddit not see this coming?

* Edit: Apologies the text should read post charge, pre convinction.
