At c. 9;50 am in the conversation section of news article"Riot declared in Portland protests after police kill man" A post I made, which is the exact post I've used before under different articles, was immediately rejected saying "Unfortunately, you are unable to take part in this conversation right now as your comments have been blocked too many times." This has been happening for days after I reported a problem and worked with Tech Support in an attempt to get another problem resolved CASE #16087280.After 22 years on AOL and 6 years commenting in the "conversation section" of news articles I have 56.7K points under the nickname "quid pro quo" and had another 22.7K points under another nickname before going back to quid pro quo when it got another problem fixed. I want to know WHY I've been blocked and WHO do I have to talk to in order to get this total BAN fixed?Under WHY it says:User accounts will/might be blocked if we notice:Continuous attempts to re-post comments that have been previously moderated/rejectedRacist, sexist, or homophobic commentsAttempts or tactics that put the site security at risk.NONE of those apply to me. In fact I do more fact checking in these conversations than anyone else using credible fact checkers like FactCheck, PolitiFact, Fact Checker et.al.

There are many issues that need to be addressed in AOL Gold and I have reached out many times to customer service. It takes 15 minutes for the program to let me sign in... My major complaint is the content in which AOL is reporting in the news feed. It is one step away from The Nat'l Enquirer. Celebrities who crave publicity and crooks who prey on children seem to spotlight the headlines. I won't bother mentioning politics since we all are aware of the bias...AOL used to give choices as to what news we need on a daily basis. Instead we are subject to nudity and ignorance displayed by young starlets we don't need to know. (The new dysfunctional Royal couple for example) Thank you for allowing me to express my concerns and please restore all the lovely features we enjoyed before the flip in managements.
