I just published a post that took over an hour to be edited and after saving, it disappeared from the forum. What is happening?

The automated spam blocker does not like it when posted are edited. This is what happened in this case. I believe the thread is restored. Best to avoid editing OPs however if it is unavoidable and the OP goes missing, PM a host with the forum area SONAR, Software, Deals etc to help narrow down the search to get the OP back (or keep a copy of the post locally just in case). The subject can help too. If the post is not an OP, providing a link to the thread is helpful.
 
thanks
