16. "Mistakenly Posted In Latest News"?

So you not only visited the wrong forum, but clicked on "Start a discussion", somehow managed to miss the large "STOP" sign that popped up with the notification in red:

Thousands of people use the DU Latest Breaking News Forum as their primary source for news. Please do not "dilute" the forum by starting threads that are not news.

Post the latest news from reputable mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only. No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours. Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread.


then ploughed on regardless, entered your own version of the "article" title as ""Twitter Ban" right under where it reads "Title: Use the EXACT TITLE of the article you are posting, without additional comment. If there is no title yet, be descriptive.", and posted a subreddit URL right under where it reads "Source: Eg. Washington Post, Associated Press, etc. (use reputable mainstream sources only)."

No, I don't want to buy any bridge you're selling.
