The deletion, from what I've heard, was preceded by publishing the image to the imgur community. If that step is removed, then that shouldn't be a problem.

Not entirely accurate.

TL;DR - Imgur started removing images that were being posted to /r/FatPeopleHate, back when it was a thing. In retaliation FPH posted a PUBLICLY AVAILABLE image of the Imgur staff in the side bar for the sub. Shortly afterwards, Reddit banned the FPH sub.
This came to be known as "The Fattening"
