Yes. There is a (third party) GitHub page documenting a lot of the hidden code features, which you may like to check out. The excuse constantly given for all this arbitrary behavior is that "this is what it takes to build a high quality community". Considering this has resulted in what is just 'big-kid reddit', I strongly disagree with this position, but I guess if nothing else all these rules and unaccountable exercises of power serve to cultivate an orthodoxy that is strongly sympathetic to the leadership, which is I guess the true goal. YCombinator is not in the business of hosting a social network so it's not reasonable to expect anything from them really.
