I don't know which form is better to use, when telling a user that his message was/has been deleted (in the sense that the message was not appropriate/against the rules e.g. in the comment section etc.).
Answer
I would use the sentence
Your message has been deleted.
if I am telling the users right after their message has been deleted. (Like a little notification superimposes on the screen for a few seconds before fading away, something similiar to what happen when you try to upvote your own question.)
But I would use
Your message was deleted
like this page as they search for their long-gone message.
