I'm really stoned, so I want to make sure I understand what you're saying.
VPN or otherwise, you're suggesting that we use a means of obscuring the link source back to Reddit? It's not an issue of IP address, but url, on the off chance that they decide to block traffic from this address?

Yup, that's right. If they decided that we were engaging in brigading, they could quite easily ban all traffic from here based on the HTTP referer. It's not a massive issue though — we could just start using anonymisers if/when they do implement that ban.
I figured as much. I've got links pinned to all the subs I mod, but I'll obscure the link source on any of the larger subs where I post links back to here.
