Have mods been hacked?

I've been repeatedly reporting a comment suggesting we commit suicide, but instead the mods removed the offender's follow up comment where they confessed they were not vegan and were only suggesting suicide for us. They confirmed this suggestion when I asked how young they think the people they told to kill themselves were. The entire conversation was present when the non-offensive comment was removed. That comment was only even reported because the leading comment was being ignored. Suggesting violence is a ban; what gives?
