So I got hit by an unfortunate bug on the first day of /r/place.
I was trying to draw something, one pixel at a time, and all of a sudden, after a bunch of pixels, it stopped rate-limiting me! I could place as many as I wanted! So I just figured that they periodically gave people short bursts where they can do anything. This was backed up by my boss, who was also playing with /r/place, saying that the same thing happened to him not long before that (yes, my whole team at work was preoccupied with /r/place that Friday). So I quickly rushed to finish my drawing.
And then I reloaded my browser... and it wasn't there. Turns out that what I thought was a short burst of no rate limiting was just my client totally desyncing from Reddit's servers. Nothing was submitted at all.
Not too long after that, another guy on my team got hit by the same bug. But I told him what happened with me, so he didn't get his hopes up.
It happened to me as well. I did verify that my changes actually made change (from the same IP, but in incognito mode). Didn't bother to check if the changes stayed.
