Here's a maybe hot take
It does not matter that posts 'take away' tbt bells, despite numerous times the staff has explained this. Refresh the page. Even if it does take away bells (which it does if you shorten the post) or doesn't give bells due to a double post glitch (the kind where when you make a post it gives you the option to leave or cancel or somethin like that) it does not matter. This is a free forum with pretty much free currency, if it bugs you that much make a thread in contact the staff stating what happened. This forum is run by tech, technology makes mistakes all the time. Yes it's not cool to make a long post and not get tbt for it, esp if you only make tbt by posting, but it's also not cool for others (not pointing fingers, just what I've seen around the site) to be rude about it and call the staff things like underhanded and such.
If you keep getting the double post glitch, choose 'Go Advanced', I have yet to have an issue with the double post glitch if I go advacned.
If you forget to go Advanced, and the site brings up the cancel or leave, press cancel, refresh the page then click refresh (it'll bring up another box).
If you still don't get bells make a thread in contact the staff.
Again, this is all free.
