I am going to respectfully disagree in this case, since these kinds of “jokey” link shorteners were also a problem at Stack Overflow early on and a public policy and statement about it was required. This should be in the guidelines.

That said I do like the idea of the message coming from the mod who took the action, but then they might complain every word wasn’t one they personally typed, so it opens another can of worms.

It is a slippery slope here to adding a ton of manual thinking and “oh no what do I say” work for mods, which I strongly oppose. Have good guidelines, and automatically refer people to them. If what is happening is so incredibly exceptional, then tap the message button on the user and handle it manually.
