I polite warning would have sufficed.  However, this sub-reddit is poorly moderated.  There is only one moderator with a reasonable amount of comments, and his comments tend to be immature.  The other "moderators" appear to be puppets.  In fact, one of the moderators actually got .79 BTC from someone doing something similar to what you did.

Don't worry about it.  Live and learn.

EDIT: Actually, AtlasLGo appears to be reasonable, but has not picked good co-moderators.
