Perhaps I'm just dense, but what's the concern with respect to moderating with being a "limited use public figure?" Does this effectively mean that you have no personal privacy expectations when it comes to your duties as a moderator? Or at least no expectations from the perspective of Reddit the corporation?

Thanks for the insight - very interesting. I'm a Reddit user but didn't realize so much "business" went on behind the scenes.

Got it in one.

There's a gay moderator living under Sharia law. As a "limited use public figure" there's nothing preventing Adrien Chen from publishing "Bruce bin Saleh bin Swish, much hated mod of /r/technology who keeps banning my articles, lives in Tehran with his mother who doesn't know he has teh buttsecks. Special note to the mullahs in our audience - yes, that is a capital offense."
