Re: Jick on Reddit on Thursday Start the thread as soon as you get in office and say at the end that you will start/be replying between time/time. Message the mods with the link. That will get you linked on the sidebar. That will get a good number of questions built up for when you want to start. This is common practice.



Keep things on topic by mentioning the movie rampart. (Sorry, reddit joke about woody harrelson's massive fail ama)



If all else fails, talk good about kittens or mock ron paul.



After you finish with the time frame you allotted in the first post come back and answer questions PRECISELY twice more, once at +12h, again at +24h. Allocate half an hour for this, pick the ones you find interesting. Comment deep (2+) in the thread. Reddit has a real hard-on for this right now.



Otherwise, just be yourself and answer only the questions you want as honestly and as vulgarly as you like. Attacking individuals is always bad. Editing bad words is bad, say fuck not f-ck. If they piss you off ignore/be funny. A single attack comment can and will blow up.



*Exception* to don't feed the trolls: IF a comment gets popular, you need to respond. Popular is 100+ upvotes, it is crazy easy to think that some jackass is popular because he shows up first. Don't fall for that. Reddit gives new posts priority *for a while*. Don't respond to "I fucked ur mom" without checking upvotes first. It will die and never be seen again, even though it shows up as the #1 comment for you. IF it gets 100+ upvotes that is when you need to ask, "how is she? We haven't talked much since the HIV diagnosis"



Sorry to be so bossy/assholey. I'm a marketing guy and have been mocking, er on reddit for years. I've never had a client I could prep before for an AMA. So I took it out on you. :P



TL:DR Be yourself. Reddit has a serious soft spot for KOL. You'll do great. Go forth and kick ass!
