Has something changed with the algorithm for "potentially manipulated dice roll results"?
When I first started using D&DB, I would sometimes get "potentially manipulated dice roll results" when I edited my posts.
I came to realize that could happen when I inserted a new roll between existing rolls, or (rarely) if I changed the comment text around a roll command. Understanding that, I haven't seen the pink warning banner for the last few months.
I've seen it twice in the last two weeks. The first time was when I changed some plain text at the end of a post... nothing in proximity to any of the rolls. This was odd, but I figured it was a 1 time glitch.
But now, I just made a post, and got the banner before any post edits. That is... bizarre. (The only unusual part of the post was a single roll with advantage, and the second part of the roll was a natural 20.)
Note: I realize I should have left the recent post in its original form, instead of trying to fix it by editing. I just tried the "rollback" feature to recover the original post, and got this error:
Beegred Thornpost - Lvl 8 Halfling Ranger - Out of the Abyss by Kerrec Drusk - Lvl 8 Half-Orc Life Cleric - The Long Road: Dragon Heist by Mingofaust (player & current DM) Hunferho Aelorothi - Lvl 5 Half-Elf Bard/Rogue - Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus (by Pokepaladdy) DM - Frontier City of Nunkreet (ended)
