I just got a pm that one of my post was deleted, but there is no link to the thread and even not the subject of the thread. Like I have to remember where I posted it like 3-4 years ago maybe even older.
Here's the how the message looks like:

Could be nice if we get some sort of info when we get such massages.
I agree with you there should be some info about the deleted post, but I think this is by design, with some valid reasons
1. Link to the post doesn't make sense because it's deleted
2. Same thing applies to Topic, for example if the Topic it-self is deleted there's no use of adding a broken-link to the topic too.
The reason the link was not added may be that you cannot verify it without using a third-party service.
As for not mentioning the topic link, perhaps it is because it is a self-moderated topic, and this means that the topic-starter does not want you to respond to it, and therefore it is better to ignore it, but I agree with you. The topic link must be added, especially if the topic is related to active scam.
Glad you are still here and I hope you have more free time to continue posting. The forum needs you.
No, you get the same notification even if the topic is not a self-moderated topic or message is deleted by a moderator.
So I guess same notification template is used for both post deletion and topic deletion too. That's why it does not have links.
Suggestion, yes a adding a
Topic Subject in the notification would be a great addition.
Over to you
