Why are my posts disappearing when I try to edit them?

Can a moderator tell me why that's happening? I made a post on http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1228330/ps4-sk-guardians-dps-tank-guide-mod-10-5
Then I refreshed the page, tried to edit and I got the message "failed to find discussion". There was nothing offensive on my post and it got deleted.
Then I made another post with the same answer. Tried to edit a grammar mistake and boon "failed to find discussion".
My internet is working normally, I'm on youtube at the moment.

So what's this? A bug or a moderator playing with me? Please fix this, I feel like someone is toying with me making me look like an idiot.
I'm here to discuss about the game, not to repeat a damn post until it stops being deleted.

Cool, turns out I'm not dumb. Had that very problem like ten minutes ago. Lengthy posting, edit, boom and gone...

seem they want short version post, no long ones, just my guess, i think it may have timer if idle too long, then it may reset, may have to check forum options, but not sure, but still ask moderators if they know.

Kalephi, literally the same thing happened to me when I wanted to answer another thread (and yes, my answer was quite long).

While not the exact same thing, something similar happened to @michela123.

You know how she had that damage debuff spreadsheet?

On the original posting day, the guide mysteriously disappeared. I talked to her, and the original guide was deleted by the automods... due to the program thinking her guide was spam.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

I had something similar happen once, the problem was I edited the post too many times in a small period of time. The post was still there but required mod intervention to become visible once again.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

That's "good" to know. Still, bad design. Just put a character limit on the post. And by far my post was not long, but, since I quoted you @rjc9000 and that cerebo guy was included in the quote, I believe the quote itself was huge and that's the reason.

Thanks guys

Too many edits in too short of a time period will cause the anti-spam policy to kick in, sending all your posts to the Spam Queue for moderators to look over, but it doesn't notify us, so we sometimes forget to check it. I'll look through it and approve what needs to be approved. If you notice anyone posting duplicate posts, it's more than likely because of this, please flag them so we can remove the duplicates. We apologize for the inconvenience.
