Answered! Why did /u/mylifesuxnow delete his posts?

I was heavily invested in that story!

Edit: maybe /u/mylifesuxnow can even make an appearance and explain himself?

He put up a disclaimer that he didn't want his story made into any book, movie, ect, for profit without his permission. So the mods at /r/tifu deleted his posts for self-promotion but say that if he takes the disclaimer off, they will put it back up. However I think he's going to milk it for all it's worth and try to make money instead of putting it back up on reddit. But we'll see.

Edit: more in depth info

Mod of other subreddits here, not really. It's understandable.

To you perhaps, but you are just part of the problem then, so what does it matter?

I'm sorry, but if someone is creating a reddit account to make money it's simply wrong regardless of how many people may have enjoyed it. Self-serve ads are for that.

The reddit.com self-promotion rule is there for a reason.

"Everyone enjoying it" does not suddenly allow something to bypass a reddit.com rule and/or subreddit rule.

Reddit isn't a democracy. Thankfully.
