Ellen K. Pao is a lawyer and the chief executive officer of the Internet company Reddit Inc. After Pao lost her gender discrimination case against venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins she was appointed CEO of Reddit Inc and Reddit entered into a new age of reasonable content control. A vocal minority of the Reddit community believes that Pao, "a manipulative individual who will sue her way to the top", has brought disrepute to the site and the rest of us hopes that she will run Reddit into a new age of enlightenment. Alternative sites to Reddit.com have sprung up and have received vast amounts of traffic within the recent months (which is bad).

The communication between the Reddit administration team to its subreddit moderators is generally ok given they work for free and aren't ACTUALLY employed at reddit under any contract, and rather optimistically after years of promises to the moderators to improve and provide tools to help run subreddits, and ultimately Reddit as a whole, smoothly, the mods seem to have stabbed themselves in the foot by acting like spoilt children.

Advance Publications needs to fix this ordeal or risk irreversible harm to their international brand, Reddit Inc.

Action must be taken to prevent Reddit from being further run into the ground by it's own members general silliness and ignorance of how a business actually works.
