This would be nice. I mean if it's something obviously stupid then yeah, that doesn't need a PM but if it's something relevant and is deleted then the user might not know what's going on. For example, I posted an error in Scizor's moveset (it doesn't list Vaccuum Wave) - deleted with no explanation. Then I posted another error (Heracross does not hit 403 speed) - deleted.

In general, I agree moderators should PM when deleting threads and posts.
In your case, I assume the reason your posts were deleted is that small changes are supposed to be posted in the small changes thread, and the usual procedure is that posts are deleted from that thread once the small change is made, though perhaps that procedure should be changed or made more clear.

That would be great.
I think if it's obviously stupid and the user was unaware of its stupidity whoever deletes it should be even more inclined to pm them.
I agree with this 100% I started a thread about the European release date, and was engaged in a conversation, I then went back to the board, and spent 15 minutes trying to find it. I assumed it had been deleted and this was confirmed when I saw the thread about USA release, now mentioned the Eu release. But it would have been nice to have that PM, just so I could have saved myself those 15 minutes I wasted. Just putting in my 2 cents there.
