Stack Overflow does not have trees of thousands of comments, or nearly as much voting going on for individual posts.

> Admins created automod They did not. Automod was created by a user as just another script that interacted with reddit's api (albeit, a powerful and useful one). Deimorz eventuall…

We ran some analyses and determined the rise is not due to an increase in spambots. I don't know the specifics of how that was determined, sorry.

R is awful. It's full of decisions made by people who seem to not have much programming experience, in that they seem good at the time but cause major issues later on. See, for ins…

It's a call that was being made (only) when the page loaded.

Hmm, that's interesting. I don't think so, though, because the user-agent on the requests is the googlebot: From: googlebot(at)googlebot.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Go…

Well, the problem is that you're in New Jersey. There's a reason it's called the California Stop.
