Design issue Warnings action: "Delete the content" still sends the link to the member

[beerForo]

Affected version

2.1.5

If you warn for a post, in the warn panel you can select the actions:

Member notification
Start a conversation
Content action
Delete the content

The problem is, the member receives a PM with a link to an error page, and the thread title is the link. This has already caused confusion with my members, various replies from thinking the entire thread was removed, moved, or locked because all they get is an error page. Can this be resolved?

Taking the link out of the message is not a fix, so we can link to warned content that is not deleted. Perhaps, if deleting, link to the thread instead of the removed content. This would solve it since the thread title is already shown as the link.

Thanks

Perhaps, if deleting, link to the thread instead of the removed content.

And if it's the thread which is deleted?

Show the title text only (no hyperlink). Maybe in both scenarios.

There isn't really much scope for changes here as it currently stands.

It's not really possible to make the conversation message conditional because it is a template that is defined and then replacements (such as the link) added in.

You are free to edit the default text how you see fit, but you may also just consider editing the pre-filled conversation before sending to edit the link out yourself it that's your preference.

Aside from that, all we can do is call this a design issue at this point.

Some default this link may be broken if... text may be in order, thanks for your suggestions. I'll figure out some wording to try to cover it all.
