A bizarre Twitter bug resulted in a number of twitter accounts being banned for using the word "Memphis."

The accounts were told they violated Twitter's rules. Users were unable to tweet, retweet, like or follow anything for a total of 12 hours.

Twitter says those accounts have been restored and the glitch has been fixed.
