That's like saying someone gives permission to remove the simulation to their battle from the warrior's pages just because he agreed that the matchup was unfair. It is only done if the author clearly states that he wishes for the simulation to be removed as well. All Hawk has said here is "You have author's support". And the only thing Evil117 was requesting in the OP was to do a rematch. His original request and Hawks approval said nothing about editing or removing the original simulation, so there is no concrete evidence that Hawk gave permission for his simulation to be edited.

Even then, that was still against the battle policy to change their statuses like that without having a blog post.
