> replacing the content with content against the rules of the subreddit. Thus when subreddit mods saw content that was against the rules, they banned the victims' accounts Got a source for this? From what I've read about what happened (not a whole lot), this seems like it's been passed through multiple rounds of the telephone game. All solid information I've heard, and seen directly admitted, is that he edited mentions of /u/spez to mentions of /u/<random-moderator-of-the-subreddit> in a single thread in a single subreddit.

Yes, it's against the /r/the_donald rules to insult the /r/the_donald mods. Here's an /r/the_donald mod saying they banned some of the users by mistake after /u/spez edited their comment. https://np.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5ekdy9/the_admins_are_suffering_from_low_energy_have/dad3dv1/ https://np.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5ekdy9/the_admin...

  ... thank you, I have now changed my opinion of his actions from "morally dubious and dumb" to "morally dubious but absolute genius trolling"

    Even more genius would have been to make himself a mod of the_donald, so every time they insulted him they broke the rule anyway...

Insulting the mods is definitely against the rules of the_donald rofl. They take after their ~God Emperor~
