Cannot Find My Own Previous Comments

I am updating this rather than creating a new thread: I just posted a long and serious piece about game balance and rewards/enticements for returning players. The forums ate it. It's not appearing in the thread at all and I got no message saying that the comment went to moderation. I can think of no reason it would be moderated other than length (it used no bad words, no links at all, not even to other parts of the forums, no e-mail addresses, no anything that would be a common automatic trigger for a filter), but there's no way that I can be certain that it's saved somewhere in EA's system. If I knew it was lost for ever, I would be very frustrated with the forum programming, but I would also be confident that rewriting it would not be wasted. As it is, I spent 30 minutes trying to aid the community and now I have no idea if I should duplicate the effort, leave things alone because they will sort themselves out, or take some other action (like contact a mod, which I do not know how to do here). 

Plz add an automated message when things are trapped by a filter and make it clear somewhere on the site that such messages will be issued. That won't stop comments from being lost, but it will allow an honest and earnest poster to know when to wait and when to retype.
