What is the 'np.reddit.com' subdomain used for? I had never seen it before, and it looks similar to the www subdomain.

- minimaxir 13y agonp.reddit.com is for "non-participation": Comments at the subdomain can't be upvoted or downvoted. It was implemented by several subreddits to prevent invasions which happen rather frequently on Reddit. The vote blocking is implemented with client-side CSS, so it doesn't work if you're using RES or using a mobile client.
- Samuel_Michon 13y ago‘NP’ stands for ‘No Participation’. “Linking to np.reddit.com instead of reddit.com will cause the subreddit to display the No Particpation stylesheet. It’s a read-only mode where users linked through the NP domain cannot vote or comment. This works only if the subreddit has installed the NP CSS. If not, linking to the subreddit with the NP domain will cause to display without the subreddit’s custom CSS, and voting and commenting will still be possible. This way we can still watch drama as it develops, but if the subreddit wishes to preserve its own culture by discouraging popcorn pissers, they have that option.” http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/14xivv/announcement_a_new_rule_to_discourage_invasion/ http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/14xivv/annou...
