This may or may not be related to a thread I see from 5 years ago, but I have numerous signs that I'm applying text onto via the silt command. After a while (usually after a restart), they go blank. Is anyone else seeing this, and what is the remedy?

Yeah, am getting the same thing happen. 

... me too !

So, I found somewhere that Rust randomly purges duplicate signs. I tried changing the ones that were getting routinely purged so they were all slightly different from one another, and they're no longer getting erased. This appears to be a Rust bug versus a plugin bug.

... all my used PICs uploading with /sil are different, not nearly the same, i dont think, that is a Problem of Rust. I think its a FileAccess or CacheProblem of the Pugin !

I was using /silt, so perhaps that has something to do with it. I made it so all the text was different across the server, and that fixed my issue.
