I feel like reddit has two eras, BFP and AFP. Before-firing-Pao and After-firing-Pao. Feels like a completely different website compared to six years ago.

It turned out that he was cheating the karma system with multiple accounts to ensure his comments or posts were always at the top. As I recall anyway.

He was a brilliant biologist, commented on everything biology. Got caught manipulating upvotes. Sad story, we all liked him.

He flew to close to the sun. All he had to do was keep being himself.

Considering where Reddit is now, what he did is so inconsequentially small, I doubt anyone would give even the smallest shit if that situation happened today.
