As far as I'm aware, he did nothing that was more rulebreaking/questionable than MrGrimm/Imgur did [self promotion via links to imgur]. http://www.reddit.com/r

  Which is of course explicitly against the rules. Turns out reddit was an investor which was not revealed until today.

    Actually, it's not. Reddit runs with a loose "10% rule", where you should strive to make 10% or less of your activity promotional.

      Take a look at MrGrim's posting history for yourself. http://www.reddit.com/user/MrGrim http://www.reddit.com/user/MrGrim It's not 100% imgur anymore, but he's well over 10%. It turns out having Reddit be a secret investor in your company gives you all kinds of leeway.

        Oh, I thought you were implying that our own promontional stuff on Reddit was over the line.
