Request/suggest change wording for deleted posts

This following is the current system stand-in post when a re-blogged post has been deleted by the original poster:

Post Deleted

This post is reblog of a post which the original poster has deleted or which has violated our terms.
 
I suggest, and request, that the wording be changed to something less alarming.
As it is now, when one goes to someone's blog archive, one may see many of these messages. And even though the first part of the sentence suggests it was a simple deletion, the second part of that sentence gives the overall impression that the blog has re-posted a lot of sketchy, illegal content.
Can I suggest that IF the content was illegal, then there is NO reason to preserve the re-posting chain, which was the original reason to insert the stand-in versus simply making the post and the re-post chain disappear.
If it's illegal, get it gone everywhere. No substitute stand-in post is necessary. Anyone who added comments or scenarios to an illegal content post should not be able to preserve that content, since it was illegal to begin with.

    Hi BDSMLR-Team!

    I would like to support this proposal and extend it at the same time.

    If the owner of the post delete it  it is gone anyway. You could consider to make the second in row the new owner but I personally wouldn't care too much. On the other hand it will be difficult to sort out which post is personal and which one is taken from public domain ...

    If the post in question is illegal and you delete it for this reason  then either silently discard it or give a hint who made an illegal post and which rule was exactly violated in order we could learn. Perhaps it is worthwhile to introduce a 'trustworthiness score' by counting violations and set them in relationship with the number of posts. I'm pretty sure you already count violations.

    The least I would like to propose is to give us an 'silently discard deleted post option'.

    In any case I appreciate you making a great job.

    Cheers!

    JK
