So I have 2 things, that I am not sure of. One, I think I may be blocked after a bit of back and forth, lol, but the second, our group is experiencing and I wonder if it's a bug.
First, someone quite active on the board, whose posts I used to read as I found him quite knowledgeable on rules and such, I no longer see his posts. I wasn't aware a user could hide from another user, I thought one could only block a user from their own view. If blocking a user works both ways, then I guess I have been blocked, although I can't be sure why. None of my business in any case, I guess, if someone wants to block me, they should, but I admit missing the insight, clarifications and sometimes rants from the user lol.
Second bit, we have noticed, at random times, ALL our gear is UNequipped. We are naked and attunement is lost and we have to put it all back. Not a huge deal, but certainly weird. Is this happening to anyone else? I noticed it Friday night in our session, when I went to look at a spell with/for our Cleric. I noticed all her gear was missing and when she refreshed her page, she, too saw that. It happened to 2 others in our group, so 3/4 characters were stripped while the 4th had no change. On a session we did Sunday afternoon, I was DM and when I went to look at one of the player's gear (to choose loot for the encounter) he was naked. Refreshing, one other character was naked, while the remaining pair were fine.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm using the site on my laptop, as are the others in our group, aside from one using the app. When it happens, it actually occurs and the app shows the same thing as the site thru our laptops, all the gear is unequipped. Strange for sure.
The user in question I thought had simply disappeared, but on a recent thread, someone else remarked how opinionated he was, with a quote from the thread. I looked and still didn't see this user nor any of his posts. I guess since I have no problem with him, I could say it seems I can no longer see any posts Lyxen makes (I believe I spelled it properly) Again, it's no catastrophe, but I did, on several occasions find his posts to offer a perspective I hadn't considered and I enjoy opening my eyes to a different viewpoint. Also I did strongly disagree with a few things he said in threads, but I don't recall ever having any kind of angry exchange. I checked everything on my end and I have nobody blocked (I simply ignore posts by folks who infuriate me)
Weirdness for sure. I am the only one in our group somewhat active here on the forums, so not sure if the rest of the clan is seeing anything else weird.

I recall a Lyxen, but if that's how it's spelled the account no longer exists - it's not in the member list.
edit: did a search on the general forum, and the resulting list shows this thread's last post was Lyxen's but there's no such post if you open the thread itself. The account is gone for sure. It's not an issue on your end.

Interestingly, if you start typing Lyxen into the filter bar on the member list, it shows an option for Lyxen, suggesting the account does exist. However, nothing comes up if you actually search for it. Additionally, on that thread, someone quotes Lyxen, which you can click on his name and it takes you to a rather prolific poster's profile - the profile definitely exists and is still here. His posts are all invisible or deleted though, and for some reason his doesn't turn up on the member list.
Either his profile is glitched or there's a story behind it.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
Just want to note that my friends and I are noticing the unequipping thing, too, across multiple devices--Windows laptops, Mac desktop, Samsung tablets, always using the website. It's really weird. I've had it happen upon adding something to a character's inventory, closing the tab, and then going back to check something. One minute it's all equipped, the next minute it's not. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not the character sheet has been accessed recently or if they've been sitting for a while. It's so strange!

Also says he was active 52 mins ago if I look up the profile. Hmm.

I don't know if these forums have a shadow ban function where essentially you can look but not touch. Kind of an odd topic for sure, and we'll never get an answer on it.
Judging by the fact that his entire post history was deleted? I'd probably say the accounts posting privileges were revoked but he still has an account as he owns content on the website. That being said, he was opinionated and did cross the line a bit. If he broke the 60 point infraction limit, that would have been a permaban.
I thank everyone for their concern and theories about what may or may not be occurring "behind the veil".
It's probably best practice not to discuss other users and/or moderation of their accounts. Likewise, the moderation team will never discuss/confirm/deny any items nor actions taken with any user.
SO, we'll be moving this thread over to Bugs & Support to further address the inventory issues.
In terms of the equipped/unequipped issue, I had a character who had all their equipment unequipped—although I think attunement stayed put, but maybe my memory is faulty. One of the other players in that campaign noticed it first and pointed it out to me. They said something about it being related to a recent glitch on the site. That’s been several days (maybe more than a week) ago. After re-equipping, though, that character has stayed equipped.
In my campaign my players and I have also noticed the mysterious "unequipping" bug.
One of my players, when they logged in, panicked when they only saw "Unarmed strike" as an action! I had to go look and discovered their weapons had simply become unequipped. Then I noticed the same thing on my own NPC character. Then a player realised their armour had also become unequipped.

Blocking doesn't turn you invisible to whoever it is you are blocking. Does the account still exist? If so, it should show up in the member list.
Second bit, never happened to me or anyone I know. Are you using the app or the site for your charsheets?

Possibly he got banned?
Birgit | Shifter | Sorcerer | Dragonlords
Shayone | Hobgoblin | Sorcerer | Netherdeep
Usually when that happens, your avatar stops showing up. Banned or Suspended, rather.

Seems to be a contagious disease!
I can say that I've noticed the unequipping bug myself, though I don't remember exactly when other than within the past few weeks.

Looks like Liam O'Brien had the same issue with all weapons being unequipped during yesterday's episode of Critical Role as well.

Well now I'm just happy that my group has something in common with Critical Role :)
