Not if you're FRDB or the Richard Dawkins forum, but if you're a site that seeks popular appeal or bills itself as for the general populace, you'd do better to not alienate 80% of the US population.
I think the main flaw of Reddit is that it allowed kids from Digg to overtake it and flood it with their personal drama, bullshit memes and uninteresting photos/videos.
Points 9, 10, 17, (at least) have pretty much nothing specifically to do with reddit but could be said of pretty much any online community.
Also, this is from 2006, and while I don't wish to suggest simply being a few years old automatically and inherently makes an article worthless, in this case it doesn't exactly help. An up-to-date feature on reddit flaws would probably include "is a SFW 4chan".
Overall a poor piece, feels like it was cobbled together as an excuse to drive traffic to the "Download mp3s Faster than limewire free!" section.
This isn't entirely true. You can't submit identical URLs to the same reddit. To resubmit you can add superfluous characters to the URL. It isn't very intuitive or easily discoverable but... it works.
EDIT: Nevermind, he points this out at the end and lists it as a problem. WTF.
