According to /u/Spez, Reddit CEO, the reports of messages edited without any user consent or knowledge are correct as he admits to have done it so himself:
Hey Everyone,
Yep. I messed with the "fuck u/spez" comments, replacing "spez" with r/the_donald mods for about an hour. It's been a long week here trying to unwind the r/pizzagate stuff. As much as we try to maintain a good relationship with you all, it does get old getting called a pedophile constantly. As the CEO, I shouldn't play such games, and it's all fixed now. Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won't do this again.
Fuck u/spez.
The edits were made in a thread linked from the Washington Post which described the recent ban of the /r/pizzagate subreddit which tried to uncover child-molesters and recently moved to voat.co.

To Quote Darth Vader - "Strike me down, and I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Go ahead, try. The people are not as stupid and foolhardy as you believe they are. Your foolish attitude already let Trump win. Keep digging your own grave.

I know Darth Vader. You, sir, are no Darth Vader.

Oh, right, that was Obi Wan-Kenoba-Whiteboy. Still, my message remains the same. Stand strong in the face of the Black man and your strength becomes that of the Black man.

“Darth Ethanol, Massa of Evil” would be a great name for a satirical superhero. His arch–enemies could be the Army of Special Schnowflaykes, whose greatest weakness would be their tendency to become blinded by their own tears when offended.

Sigh...that was Obi Wan Kenobi, in his light saber battle on the death star. I appreciate your brain is usually a wee bit pickled EF, but c'mon man, that is like saying Han Solo said "use the force Luke" during the trench run.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

To quote Darth Vader ? You mean Obi-Wan Kenobi and his garbage friends ? Darth Vader is not the person to quote in a political chat anyway, he lacked any conviction, he was a fan of nepotism. At least THE Emperor believed in the Dark Side unlike that traitor, Anakin.

Unless that was some kind of tongue in cheek joke on your part, in which case it flew above me.
Pretty sure neither Vader nor Palpatine would agree with that, since their desires for power were in this world, where as Obi-wan was more like some sort of enlightened warrior-monk whose death could serve just as much purpose as his life had.
