This bug has reached a new level of annoyance.

Today I wanted to publish a vote for my crew. I completed it, including linking it to various other forum threads with hyperlinks. Then I noticed I got the date in the original post wrong, so I edited it with the reason: Typo.

The original post immeediately disappeared. All that I was left with was an empty title with the option to reply. So I pasted the text back in:

Then I pressed “Submit”, but I received the following error message:

I disregarded this and pressed “Submit” again anyway, because I need the post exactly how it is. Once again, I am faced with a blank, white screen:

A second attempt with the same post but a different title also fails. Then I decide to start a new topic called “Topic to Delete”. This works.

So I get the idea of creating a new topic with a different title and inserting the material I need. I simply call the new thread “Third Amendment”. Then I edit it and try inserting the text I wrote previously:

This doesn’t work. The forum spam filter notices that the text I inserted is the same as before.

These two new topics are both still listed in the forum group master list:

I try editing the “Third Amendment” by giving it an old title with the text that I need. The title changed, but the thread is once again a blank, empty slate:

“Third Amendment” has now also disappeared from the forum group master list:

@Godsdead I get the impression that spam filter is currently far, far too strict. It blocks you from making duplicate posts and remembers which posts have previously been made. This function in combination with the disappearing post glitch is causing a considerable amount of hassle. If it was disabled or weakened, people would be able to repost their lost forum threads. As it is, the forum is performing a double beatdown on its victims.

Also, I followed an old hyperlink I’d created and was able to view the now invisible missing post. I tried trashing it (top right corner) to see if this would remove the spam warning. Alas, it did not. I received an error message while trashing it.
