Reposted omitting personal info

It's not even that I wanted to defend keeping it up, I removed it as soon as I found the proof that it wasn't real. What I'm trying to defend are the actions I took before it was deleted and what I did after I found out personally that it didn't belong here. It didn't need to be up because it was fake, but up until I found the proof, there was no way for me to be 100% positive it was fake. The rest of the evidence was circumstantial, and making a decision off of that just would have felt wrong to me, personally. I do appreciate your input and the input of everyone else, I just want people to know I'm not doing it to be an asshole or get more upvotes, it's not my sub, I'm just one mod. All I'm trying to do is get legit confirmation on if it belongs or not, and it didn't, so I deleted it. I just take it personally, and I probably shouldn't, because I feel like I'm really having to defend something that wasn't done out of malice or as a mistake, I just needed actual evidence.
