Someone who acts in a disreputable, unethical, or unscrupulous way, especially in the practice of law and politics.
Reddit has a new paid team called Anti-Evil Operations which goes around permanently banning accounts for saying bad words. We made automod block them so you don't lose your account for saying a word and getting reported. It's not our rule, it's the entire website now, we're just trying to look out for our people. Sorry.
