Because it wasn't a mod action. Its owner deleted it

Oh, I had no idea that it didn't just hide the post like on reddit but actually scrubbed the link. That's an interesting behaviour, pros and cons but definitely much safer than the alternative

Ye. Mods can still see it (which is why I know it's deleted by the creator) which helps against spam and other bad stuff.

Cool, thanks for answering. I can see my own deleted posts which mislead me as to what was occuring.
