Is this really a bad thing? Possibly Illegal and slightly unethival sure, im here from the frontpage and donr care much for Nascar, but this seems like a reasonable thing to do, doesnt seem it hurts anyone except for maybe the Nascar corporation. As long as they dont actually see themselves as above other users, i dont see why anyone would care.
They’re misleading NASCAR by presenting themselves as representatives of Reddit to get these passes. Which is strictly forbidden in the Reddit TOS. They aren’t employed or act on behalf of Reddit by any means, and do not deserve to attend races for free just because they delete comments and ban users.
NASCAR should also probably look in to scrutinizing who qualifies for media passes a little more. For a Reddit mod to pass themselves as the equivalent to someone like Bob Pockrass is embarrassing.
As reddit mod antics go, this seems really benign. Sure its against TOS, but if we start looking at website TOSs as moral authorities, then a lot of what people do wvery day is suddenly morally wrong. And NASCAR ( by my knowledge, again since im not into it i dont kmow kuch abkut them) is a for profit corporation, so its not particularly wrong to mislead them.
I would have a prpblem about people pretending to have life threatening diseases to get in for free, like how soke people might use their kid, pretendong their sick as a method lf getting access to races for free.
As for some internet janitor pretending to be media, i dont think anyine is gettong hurt.
Benign, for sure. However, based off of the last sentence or so, it kinda confirms a lot of people suspicions that some mods may actually be of less than upstanding character.
