It's super weird, I've never seen this before and I use private message a lot.
To whomever reads this, I hope you have a good day/night. May you be Happy.
So, I made some Mage Legacies here, with some help. They vary in quality, but I hope you take a look at them. Every one contains pieces of me, for better or worse. -
Ugh. I just edited a post to change “is” to “of”, and it got tagged as spam. Probably because I had posted just before I edited.Comment

Well, it's been what, five months? Still happening! All the little mistakes I make in my posts drive me neurotic because I can either leave them there or run the risk of editing and basically getting left out of a conversation I tried to join in.
Why is editing getting flagged anyway, I didn't think bots even edit posts.Comment

My guess is that people can keep arguing via edits even after a discussion has theoretically been shut down, and this is to limit that? But even that's kinda me grasping at straws.Originally posted by Rhywbeth View PostMonkish Asexual.
I make Legacies when I'm bored. They're of middling quality, but have a look if you're interested. Advice and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.Comment

The error code is the same for an edit post spam as it is multiple posts in row not getting stopped by the counter, so there's that.

In the eternal arms race of spam vs moderation, there are spam bots out there that are designed to make normal-ish looking posts for a bit, and then go back and edit in spam if they aren't caught fast enough. So edit spam is actually a thing moderator tools have to address. From what I've heard from moderators elsewhere this wasn't a big problem for a while because the spam bots just weren't good enough to get around basic automated moderation, but the uptick in AI writing has made it much harder for automated systems to spot these things. Basically, spam bots have gotten a lot better in the past few years at getting around the first layers of "I am not a robot" defenses.
It's not as big of a problem on forums, but a lot of people that make anti-spam tech for moderators aren't so platform specific.Comment

Sigh. If you see something you wrote wrong, just don't edit. It's just gonna mess your post up unnecessarily

Well, you could just post, shrug, come back to it later, and then edit it.Originally posted by Asmodai View PostSigh. If you see something you wrote wrong, just don't edit. It's just gonna mess your post up unnecessarilyComment

Of course, but that's not my first impulse. And I may as well remind others of that.

I just did that and it locked my post. >(Originally posted by Saur Ops Specialist View PostComment

How much later? I had to wait a few hours. Which is kind of odd, since that doesn't seem like it would rule out spam or the like after someone figures out the window.Originally posted by Ragged Robin View PostComment

If I were guessing, I'd assume at least 30 minutes to an hour, minimum.Originally posted by Ragged Robin View PostComment
