Update 2. The site crashed, good old message suggesting that people are F5ing too much... or maybe spies. So I'm leaning toward the site being effed up. I edited my accidental spam posts, and got a weird issue. The posts say they were edited, but show the original text from before the edit. If I click on the edit button, it shows the proper text. If I then go back to the thread, the old text is back. 

Quite aggravating.
