I think it's vague by design. They don't want to put a copy of rule-breaking content in a message to the person who pointed out the content was rule-breaking in the first place.

(And that kind of community message is sent automatically when a report is marked as completed, so the system doesn't necessarily know what action was taken in every possible case.)

One could also simply bookmark things reported if they are that concerned over it. Personally a "thing was acted on" is good enough as I don't report too often I know what was acted on.

They used to put a link to the discussion but its now been removed. Maybe cause those are now simply deleted.
Now it just states, which is fine.

You know when you get a Community Message when you've reported someone to say action was taken? I suggest a more detailed message telling us what post it was. Most of the time it can take a while before Steam takes action so it's easy to forget what you reported.

Not giving you that information is intentional as it's none of your business what punishment was given and to who. Valve won't provide you means to stalk and harass people. All you really need to know that one of your reports was reviewed and acted upon. Now move on with your life.

AI can't do that.
