When you get notifications "this post was deleted"

[rogermorse]

If you check your notifications, sometimes you can see that some thread on some forum was deleted (not necessarily yours). Maybe you replied there and you got a notification once, and the next time you check, you see "this item has been moved or deleted" or something similar, and if you click on it, the notification disappears. Is there a way what thread / post / comment it was referring to? I can't remember on my own sometimes given that maybe I was particularly active on discussion forums in the previous days.

Could also just mean it was moved.

After which the first step should be to check here,
http://steamcommunity.com/my/posthistory

Otherwise, no way to know which post it refers to.

sorry for necroing but this is one thing many people want to know, myself included. humans have curiosity and its something that happens so much ,we arent even aware, like seeing the "deleted or moved" notif.
it should tell us the discussion name atleast, i would mind if i couldnt view the comments again but to know which discussions would be helpful i.e the title. i made a thread on this topic and i got a response by a mod saying it is pointless but its really not, as we shouldnt get notifs then. the only way to know which thread it was is to screenshot every thread you made a comment on then seeing if it was that one which was removed by comparing.

No, It wouldn't be helpful. Often they're removed for breaking the rules, the title can include a rule breaking thing itself, such as advertising a malicious site/etc. if you expect them to manually censor out each and everything you see instead of the generic message then you be trippin.

So ? If you are the creator of a 'breaking rule' post, you could get the notification 'your thread going by the title XXX has been removed for breaking steam rules' or 'your thread XXX has been moved to another forum' or 'your thread XXX has been moved to the subsection Y of the same forum'.

What's not helpful in that?

yes i know threads break rules, but the notification could say as roger suggested "*title of thread* has been deleted - click here to remove"
then you would assume the op or someone else in the thread has said somthing stupid which you know would have caused it to be deleted. sometimes it could be a thread that isnt rule breaking like a few months ago i was on one about a guy who needed help with gta v and it was all cool. the next day it was deleted with 24 or so replies so i was confused, and had no idea what it was, luckily another guy had the same problem which prompted me to search for the other thread with the same problem but i realised it was that one that was deleted - as i was going to copy paste my other answer for the same question but it was deleted so no point
