Does anyone else notice pastebin screwing up?

I've been working on my minimap program (because I have nothing else to do), and noticed then (and several times before) that sometimes, my clipboard will randomly appear on a random line of my code. I didn't paste it, it just appears there.
For example, when working on version 1.3.6 of my minimap, I made a yield() function and made a bunch of functions local. After I save, I noticed it had one too many 'end's, but I didn't recall making complicated functions where many if/while/repeat/for statements are used.

Then I found a line that had 'endyield()'. I should probably use Pastie or Hastebin or something.

So this means you edit in pastebin? I would use Sublime Text or Atom because they offer a lot of functionality an online editor doesn't. As for Gist, I don't know if they're better or worse than pastebin, but they offer more space. The best option in my opinion is Text Editor + GitHub.

i don't think it's happened to me today, maybe if you're using an emulator it might be the case?

Huh? No, I'm talking about when I save a program on the pastebin website, but sometimes goofs up.

When I paste something in my account it gets deleted without any message after ~10-15 minutes. When I paste as guest nothing is wrong. But as you mentioned this maybe this is why Lattice' first version crashed (maybe not), because I remember I always check the code to be functional before uploading(maybe I didn't?).
Move to Backspace, not Hastebin ;)/>
Maybe I'll move too.

If you are using an account then check your default paste settings.

Pastebin has a spam filter which acts this way - it's infuriating that it exists (no messages, even though the site has it's own messaging system!!). Long story short something in your paste is tripping their "this looks like spam" sensor, it's probably in the title, and if you change whatever it is they don't like then they'll stop deleting your data.

I tried a new post:
http://pastebin.com/eASBxsL8
It should contain nothing that activates spam filter
Title: Little Program
Code:
Spoiler–This is a text. This text has lots of words. If you see this you are lucky. This probably will not activate the filter.
A = 1
B = 1
C = A + B
–C is 2. Am I right?

Let's see if it gets removed
