You'd have to ask that guy, I suppose. He posted it to two different communities, and neither community's modlog show that post being deleted by a mod, so they definitely removed it themself.

It was me i was the guy and i deleted on and the other one a mod banned because i edit the poat to something like deleted forever loser before deleting it . Like sheesh the mod banned it in 3 seconds or something good for them and i appreciate the dedication.
