Thanks, I hate it! (image description inside)

A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated "1 year ago".

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: "That solved it. Thanks!"

Edit: added temporal context.

If it says removed doesn't that mean its a mod (or admin) action? My understanding is that it would say deleted if the user removed it.

Still infuriating when you're looking for information that was removed, for whatever reason.

It's what it looks like if you delete your comment.

If it was an admin it would say something like "this comment has been removed by admins" or something similar. I've seen it happen a few times before I left the site.

[deleted] by [deleted] is when you remove the message yourself. [removed] by [deleted] if it was removed by mods. [Removed by Reddit] by [deleted] if it was done by the admins (?), if the message is still there but the username is [deleted], they deactivated their account themselves.
And if you get suspended, unless the admins wipe your account clean as well the message as well as the poster name stay as is.
