Reddit Admins Takeover My Novelty Account and Handed It to Comcast

old.reddit.com

I wanted to keep the title the same as what the Reddit OP's done. Just wanted to share this since I think the Reddit admins have done a pretty egregious thing here:

- Take over a user's account without discussing it with him beforehand (OP's claim)

- Handing it straight over to another party for promotion (can be seen in /u/xfinity's profile).

- Didn't remove its privileges (moderation) before transferring ownership.

It never was your account.

Not sure why this was downvoted? You don’t have an ownership interest in a username namespace on a private website.
