Do not repost the question you were about to ask until you have

While trying to ask a question, one could get:

<!-- DID YOU COME HERE TO CHANGE THE GOO.GL LINK? Then note: that link is non-clickable; see http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/91459/remove-the-shortened-url-from-the-post-ban-message -->

Likewise, for answers:

- Why am I getting this message?
- Are deleted posts taken into account too?
- Is a question/answer ban the same as a suspension?
- How do I avoid getting a question ban?
- How long do I have to wait before I can post again? What can I do to release the ban? How can I reactivate my account?
- Can I simply create a new account?
- I'll just ask on Super User or Unix and Linux, and they'll migrate my question to the correct site!
