bad twitter link
A post whose source is a direct link to a Twitter image, rather than to the Twitter post containing the image. These are considered bad links because there's no way to find the original Twitter post from the image link.
If you see this warning while uploading, it means you should paste the link to the Twitter post on the upload page, not the image itself.
