About 20 times a week I receive a "verification code" email from Reddit to my Gmail account saying that I've set up a new account on Reddit and to enter the code to finish setting up the new Reddit account. Moments later I then receive an email from Reddit saying that the new account is set up and if I don't want my email address to be associated with the new account I can "click here" to remove it.

The problem is I'm not setting up these hundreds of Reddit accounts and I don't understand how someone is successfully seeing the verification code email sent by Reddit. I have 2FA on the Gmail account and always have had it. Usually after a month or two I even get an email from Reddit saying that the fraudulent Reddit account is deleted by Reddit for banned activity.

How can I put a stop to this? I've reported it to Reddit over a dozen times already and it's still happening.

I searched online and I can't find any information about this NASA employee oath. Does anyone have any background information on it's origin and author?
