I think I broke a rule.

[Daftly]

I posted a story I saw on the AP and that I cannot find in the breaking news section. The story was on the latest court decision reguarding choice. Are stories on abortion banned from that section? I know most Israel topics are but I did not see anything about abortion. I did not even see it in the choice topic section further down. After I posted it, it was pulled almost immediately. Did I miss a rule?

2. shouldn't you contact the administrators?

Do we need a thread for this?

8. Is being cordial to a new person that difficult?

3. No you didn't

I can only assume that it was yanked because it had already been posted (it has) or because it did not comply with the rules for LBN, which are posted as a sticky at the top of the page.

4. Here's the rules

Perhaps you didn't use the ACTUAL story title. Maybe you posted too many paragraphs.

Welcome. :hi:

5. Was it Late Breaking News? Did you post MORE than

4 paragraphs? If it wasn't "Latest Breaking News" it was probably moved? If it was more than 4 paragraphs they may have deleted it?

Abortion is a HUGE topic here. It's not against the rules.

OR, it may have already been posted and they delete copies of the same stories.:hi:

Welcome to DU, BTW!

6. Here is how you contact the admin:

7. Go look in your "my posts" section

Click on the link -your post & that should lead you to it. Probably wasn't LBN.

9. First of all, don't sweat it.

The mods don't eat newcomers in months ending in Y.

10. You get one freebie.

Next time, Skinner sics Romeo on your buttocks.

Romeo may be little, but he's damn mean. ;-)

11. Wow, that was some quick replies.

Thanks everyone. I looked in the first 3 pages and didn't find anything on it. It was less than 12 hours old. (Posted at 10:00 this morning and I posted it a few hours ago.) It was on the unanimous vote overturning the lower court's decision that a minor need not inform her parents before terminating a pregnancy. I was certain that DUers would have kept that at the top of the list.

Thanks all, I'm off to find where the story went and post appropriately.

12. It was a dupe, I think.

The ability to search is most helpful.

13. No rule broken...

It was locked as a dupe.

Welcome!
