Completely Blank Posts?

Yes, an immediate or reasonably quick (a few minutes, I know, but I haven’t tested the limits) self-edit will not trigger the notification. A mod edit will, regardless of timing.

No, we can’t turn those notifications off, AFAIK.

I think I may have discovered the trigger for the posts disappearing: every one I know of that got blacked out was reported.

This post is a test.

Quoted for posterity before reporting.

Hypothesis confirmed.

Post #13 quoted Post #12, and then I reported it. Everything got wiped.

Thank you for going the extra mile, Alcatraz. That conspiracy theory started to really itch.

Oh yeah, in case anyone gets any bright ideas: anyone caught abusing the report button while this bug is roaming free WILL be dealt with.

What is this about, [MENTION=6994407]acpitz 1[/MENTION]? You appear to be a new member who has decided to start insulting us. Something up?

Huh. Now that IS odd. What on Earth could cause that all of a sudden? The software hasn’t changed recently.

I’m away until tomorrow night, but we might have to disable the post report button if it’s suddenly doing that.

The software technically shouldn’t even *allow* a blank post, or one with less than (I think 3?) characters.

Hmm.. I see no edit notification on the post above. do you?

EDIT 1013 It seems that if you edit immediately it doesn't show. Test it yourself.

If you edit before it is read by someone else, no notification appears.
