Hi. I just put a lot of time and thought into a lengthy post in the ‘Isolation and Faith’ thread, only for it to mysteriously disappear. It was respectful, measured, and in no way offensive. But it’s vanished. It’s quite upsetting as I was certainly observing the etiquette and spirit of the thread in what I said, and I simply couldn’t begin climbing that mountain again. I felt I’d chosen my words well and simply couldn’t recreate them, nor - surely-should I have to? Chloe Mod - sorry, yours is the only mod name I can ever quickly find, I don’t mean to pester- has a glitch consumed it? Or was it withdrawn despite being basically a nice and well meaning post? If so, was it reported? And why? I’m confused.
I think Number discovered that quoting another person 4 times in a single reply will get you caught by spam bot.I have also noticed that if you make a post (as in start a discussion) but then try to edit it too many times in short sucession that also gets caught.Which is a pain for me because I frequently have to go back and edit things for typos. That actually happened to one of my posts earlier and is why a duplicate of it now exists.Speaking of which I better go bump it since it's a PSA.
I also noticed one of my replies went puff just very recently because I had to stop and go back to edit typos "too frequently" or something.
