This has happened more often on 7Cups.. a lot of messages and answers got deleted. Why this time, I honestly don't know.. but let's just continue with a new riddle:

I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them.
I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold.
They are the smallest you could imagine.
Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I?

Tool of thief, toy of queen.
Always used to be unseen.
Sign of joy, sign of sorrow.
Giving all likeness borrowed.

What is it?

A mask, I think.

PS. I noticed a lot of my posts were deleted, but they've come back now? It's so strange.

@TrulyMadlyDeeply

That's the right answer smiley!

About the deleted posts, I noticed it before too and actually said something about it a bit earlier in this page. One of the reasons I know that can cause this, is when a new member all of a sudden makes a lot of posts in the forum. A automated filter can than flag it as spam, and automatically delete all the message of this member. I'm not 100% sure this is exactly what happened to you though. But I personally messaged a forum moderator about it, and they actually were so kind to restore your messages for me smiley So whatever the reason was, it's all good again.

I see... that's probably why they took down my posts then, thanks for contacting a moderator smiley

This might be a slightly difficult one, but let's see:


With potent, flowery words speak I,
Of something common, vulgar, dry;
I weave webs of pedantic prose,
In effort to befuddle those,
Who think I wile time away,
In lofty things, above all day
The common kind that linger where
Monadic beings live and fare;
Practical I may not be,
But life, it seems, is full of me!

What am I?

@DarkWolf Is it a riddle? Probably not but the 'befuddling' makes sense.

@stuckintime92

Yes, that's it. Those 2 sentences: 'I weave webs of pedantic prose,
In effort to befuddle those,' were the biggest clue to me too.

I weaken all men for hours each day.
I show you strange visions while you are away.
I take you by night, by day take you back,
None suffer to have me, but do from my lack.

What am I?
