/r/fivenightsatfreddys mod team remove /u/GameboyJr for improper CSS editing

Earlier today, a user was supposedly sending "cryptic" PMs to other users from the /r/fivenightsatfreddys. The user's account was less than an hour and had no comments to be seen on his page when the CSS edit was implemented.

/u/GameboyJr, the newest moderator of the team, decided to take it upon himself to out the spammer in the sub-reddit's CSS as can be seen in the provided screenshot below.

After confronted about the CSS edit, another moderator stepped in and edited the message to remove the username mention as well as warn users about "cryptic" messages.

Less than two hours later, an announcement was made that /u/GameboyJr was being removed for "private" reasons and new moderators would be scouted for. It's no surprise that /u/GameboyJr was added to the team to help with the CSS, as it's no coincidence that he was removed from the team shortly after the CSS edit was addressed.

Update: /u/BaseTown removed the withdrawal submission entirely. I wonder why...
