[Air-L] Question about citing specific Reddit pages

[Rysavy, Wayne Erik]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could clarify the best way to cite specific Reddit comment pages related to area-specific content. I typically cite in APA, but since Redditors create comment pages in sharing images, links, and/or stories and then form a subsequent comment page based around their submissions, I'm not exactly sure how to reference the material. I want to reference the comment page created by a Redditor, in particular. For example, if I want to cite this comment page (http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/17pftd/electronic_arts_suffers_45_million_loss/), how would I do that?

I am relatively new to AoIR, so I haven't seen any discussion about this and would appreciate any feedback you can provide. I'm using certain discussions in comment pages on Reddit within a paper I am working on and have not cited from this site before. Again, thank you, any help is appreciated.

Best,
