There was some discussion in /r/modcoord on how mods could actually sue Reddit for free labour. I’m not sure how viable it is, but at least it seems to me like there’s some ground to stand on.

There is also this part “Under FLSA regulations, an individual cannot volunteer services to a private, for-profit company.”

Seems like Spaz may have crossed the line but it’ll take someone with deep pockets to take on Condé Nast publishing to find out.
