Can't edit or send new messages in a server I own, but only in one single channel?
Post Body

As the title says, I'm unable to send messages in one (and only one) channel in a server I own and have full permissions in -- when I attempt to, the messages are instantly red, as if they failed to send due to lag. Meanwhile, when I go to edit a message, and type up all of what I want, and either press enter or click the tiny "save" hyperlink, the message isn't edited at all.

I checked the character count of my intended post-edit message, and it's somewhere around 1900 -- appreciably under the 2000 character limit. If it were over 2000, sending the message wouldn't give the red-text error, it would give the "too long" popup instead.

I haven't had this problem in any other server or channel. Could the fact that I'm the only one with message-sending/-editing perms in that channel somehow be related?

Edit: When you link to a channel with #channelname, but put a \ forward slash before it (ie, \#channelname, you get a string of numbers, like <#189606694555559930> (example number, but with the right amount of digits though). I don't know how Discord stores the content of messages behind the scenes, but if it stores #channel links as <#189606694555559930> strings rather than merely as #channelname strings, perhaps the difference, in a message with a very large amount of links to very short channel names (as the message I'm having trouble editing is) is enough to push the character count over the limit behind the scenes, even though it looks like it shouldn't to the end user? If so, this is one hell of an edge case, but still'd need fixing.
