My thread mysteriously vanished !?.

A few days ago i wrote a post about the currently broken and utterly underperforming Munitions
but once i posted it, i noticed a spelling error to i quickly edited the post.
And when i then tried saving the edit, i was shown a message that "this post needs to be authorized by Admins" and i haven't seen the post since. No foul language was used in the post, no personal attacks.. just a normal post questioning the state of Munitions.

So i'd love to know where it vanished off to ...
(It was posted in the builds & powers forum).

It's an issue with the forum software. It happens a lot on the STO forums as well.

Essentially, whenever you edit a post, it's necessary to add words to it, or the forum software swallows it. For instance, when I've had to edit mine, I'll frequently add

//Edits for the Change God! Words for the Word Throne!

to the end.

Forum ate it. Sometimes it can be recovered but not by us.

It's a spam filter. The forum is trying to ensure you don't post the same thing twice.... except it applies this to when you edit a post.
