I used to particularly enjoy getting banned from subs for being mean - with a link to my comment being a reply to someone calling me an idiot and me telling them why they are wrong.
EDIT: I've added a link to that page in the part of the insecure "Getting Started" that says "this is insecure don't do it this way". Hopefully that helps people in the right direction a bit more - but I have a long road of more documentation ahead of me.
As always - any and all contributions are welcome :)
I think you are over conflating "reddit-isms" and "internet-isms". Reddit is where stuff like this has been most prominent for a while - but the whole funny naming thing has been around since the birth of the internet.
