mistakes need not be that big a deal or punishable.
Or do they?
I made one of those mistakes a few weeks back, posted in the wrong forum, got locked for that reason, and to my surprise and amazement have not been asked to serve on a jury since.
Coincidence?

I start new threads in GD fairly often, but rarely in GDP (only 1 this year). So I see that often when posting for GD, and have got used to clicking the bottom right button for "yes, I've got this right". Yesterday, I had something to post in GDP, and went to the GDP forum and clicked 'start a discussion' - and got the identical 'stop screen' . Thinking 'yes, I've got this right', I clicked the right hand button. Which then put my thread in the wrong forum.

It's a bit late now, but I would have advised a design that shows a different screen when you come from GDP than from GD - so that people who know they came from the correct forum don't just use position to do what they want. After a few months, I expect few people do read the screen every time they see it.

I've got no interest in joining the primary fray on DU. I've wandered into GD-P a couple of times, but the rhetoric-without-any-objective-thought isn't conducive to real conversations so I typically beat a hasty retreat.

But, increasingly, it keeps intruding in GD.

But self-deleted quickly after. You'd think if you originated the post in GD, it'd have GD as the first button, not GDP.

This is serious stuff, not like putting classified info on a home server...
