Posts get deleted for variety of reasons. Some are sensible some are rather dumb for me but it's not my job to judge it. I just want to ask about one change I just discovered. You can't view deleted post page. I know that picture/video/whatever isn't there anymore but there were tags and comments. Sometimes I checked my comment list to see funny ones I knew where under specific pic even if it got deleted or just checking artist name to try find them somwhere else. Now it's impossible. It kinda sucks. I don't remember every artist name nor I have comprehensive list of the ones I liked.

Is it bug or some kind of change? If it's change is it undisputable and permament?
I'm almost sure that there would be some people with similar opinions.

You still can see pages of deleted posts. I think there are some exceptions like real life porn, but that's up to staff to clarify.
What's your exact scenario?

Deleted posts are merely hidden from view by anyone who is not a staff member, they can still be found with the search you showed. Destroyed posts, however, are completely removed from the site, and cannot be found or recovered by staff members AFAIK. Typically, posts are only destroyed if they are illegal to host, such as legitimate (IRL) bestiality, so it's not that common to witness posts get destroyed. I don't know the full list of reasons for posts to be destroyed, this is just a shorthand of what I received as an answer when I asked why "some (deleted) posts can't even be viewed".

The main purpose of this distinction is that posts can be undeleted. An artist that requested a takedown can just as easily make a "takedown", requesting that the posts they prior took down be undeleted. If it turns out that if an inferior/duplicate post was deleted, but the "superior" post was actually paysite content, the "inferior" post can be restored. Et cetera, et cetera... to my knowledge, destroyed posts can't be undestroyed, but the admins would know more on this than I do.

I think that it will be faster and easier to just show. Behold my paint skills! :D

Ah, yeah, I understand now. I agree that this is less convenient, but at least you can click at the timestamp under profile pic to be redirected to post page. Great Paint skill too btw.

I will be completely honest. I completely forgot that timestamp is hyperlink.
