You guys and your vent issues.
Archipirata you are gonna have a main line stoppage soon. It's not a local stoppage, ie toilet or sink. All fixtures are gonna back up. I'd have your sewer cleaned ASAP.
For the rest of you wanna be plumbers, if a vent is capped your plumbing will just drain slowly.
I've never seen a vent pipe clogged or blocked before. I've seen missing vents, I've seen capped vents from forgetting to take the cap off after test. I've heard of an occasional birds nest forming on a vent. But other than that the vent is not the first place to diagnose a plumbing problem.
Good Luck
