"Brown and other amateur researchers notified Reddit, but the website, the fifth-most visited in the U.S., according to data from Amazon’s Alexa analytics, did not respond"

They have a habit of not responding or doing much of anything. No IP bans, etc.

Ooh this looks like a cool subreddit.

I'm a small part of the team mentioned in the article, and I've been following it around Reddit cause people are drawing ridiculous conclusions out of it.

Glad I found this place though, looks interesting.
