Why does he have to be a cop for answering the questions? I don't get it. Doesn't it make sense he would try to start discussion in a thread about having a discussion?

Yea, I don't see any reason why this would be a cop.

Maybe if they were asking more specific questions like where on campus do the dealers hang out or something similar I could see it.

Why would an ordinary user delete a throwaway account just because they were accused of being a cop?

If you're considered "controversial" on reddit, what happens is, you get many many messages and replies, some fraction of which are threatening or insane.

Indeed, but it's a throwaway, so why not just log out?
