About a month ago, as a result of a discussion with some other Reddit moderators, I came to a conclusion — it was not wholly inaccurate, but it was wrong.

@PennyOaken A lesson learned a long time ago: if it smells like shit, looks like shit and it is traveling fast toward a fan: just cut your losses and run. I really don’t are what happens to Reddit any more.

Treat them and X as if they were already dead, bankrupt and shutdown.

Unluckily I have problems of translating the germanic concept of “Acht” (not the number, but the punishment) into English. We need something like that for businesses.

@masek The best English expression I’ve encountered for _Acht_ is the notion that there’s a social contract & that those who demonstrate a practice of violating the social contract, cannot avail themselves of appeal to it when society moves against them — or the legalistic proverb that Equity Serves Those With Clean Hands.
