This says an admin was accused of editing posts, it doesn't provide proof. It then says users down voted him not employees of reddit. Also subbit reddit admins aren't employees , I believe most people can create a subreddit and be an admin

      That's the founder and CEO at the time, he created the reddit culture and he did the worst thing you can do in that situation: silently editing the posts of people you disagree with. Nobody said that post was proof that lots of admins do this, but it is proof that Reddits leadership is rotten to the core. If the CEO is fine with editing others speech to make it look like they said things they didn't, then obviously he is also fine with unfairly banning people or communities he disagrees with since that is a much lesser evil.
