This comment was the first one I ever saw that said "Deleted by creator" so I was wondering what would happen if you copy the text of it. Apparently, this shows the text of the deleted comment. Is this a bug?

This opens up the world of sending hidden messages by quickly deleting the message after sending it, which opens up the world of "deleted malware" and possible rule breaks.

What about edits?
