Is it possible to submit a DMCA takedown notice for subreddit rules and sidebar content?
They took my subreddit away and installed some sock puppet who restored everything that I wrote, which I deleted. Do I have any recourse, or do they just get to use my writing?
Perhaps you could assert a copyright claim to the extent that you own your own modified version of the text of the rules - at least the sockpuppet would have to change the wording.
