My inbox is getting more and more COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. I pay for AOL service, I do NOT PAY TO HAVE TO DELETE unwanted email.
My idea is for you to NOT keep sending me emails that are ADVERTISEMENTS. i'M SICK TO DEATH of money-grubbing huge multinational corporations trying so desperately to get MORE AND MORE AND MORE MONEY from me, and other people with limited incomes. It's disgusting and you people ought to be ashamed of yourselves. But of course you are not, because MONEY is all that will ever capture your attention.

Returning Comments on Bug reported issues.
When contacting AOL techs by phone on problems, they tell us to use the “Bug” link to do so. This can be hopefully helpful since so many of the AOL phone contacts are unproductive and inconsistent from one tech to another. On average, most of the phone-in tech calls’ answers to tech issues are to reinstall AOL Gold, where that often is not the solution. Their tech resolving expertise is usually very shallow. They spend more time trying to sell me a protection package than trying to find an experience supervisor to answer difficult…

AOL Return Responses – Notify Us
When submitting a Bug or Feedback report, why can’t AOL send an email indicating they have responded with an answer?
Finding your responses on Feedback can be difficult and I usually don’t take the time to check, since often there are no responses. All you need to do is to link our email address, which is included in our report, to your responses.

Get rid of the point system! It means nothing except a popularity contest and that is NOT what AOL is supposed to be!
The point system is a popularity contest and that's disgusting! If people don't like a post then, fine, thumbs down, but now giving points for the number of posts, the number of posts that are liked or read, is ridiculous, unfair, and totally disgusting. GET RID OF IT!

Webcam
AOL is requesting access to my webcam about every two hours. This is an invasion of privacy, and I have blocked all such requests in the future. What have you been doing with my image and sound????? And to think that I PAY for this???? You're going to lose a 30-year user to another service pretty soon....

Provide AOL Desktop for macOS Catalina
AOL Desktop Gold needs to add support for macOS Catalina and future releases. The laptop world is not all Windows users. Telling Apple Mac users to "use browser access" is not a good response.

ADG software is getting worse! Mailbox basically unusable now!!
This ADG software is getting worse and worse with each update. It's been OVER A WEEK now that the Mailbox is basically unusable. Every time I click a new tab (ie Old Mail or Sent Mail) the program FREEZES. This is unacceptable for software that I'm paying a monthly fee for. When are you guys going to fix this crappy program, get rid of the many many bugs, then just LEAVE IT ALONE for a while??!! 😡

I would like to use AOL chats on my devices, but you don't allow it!
I would like to use AOL chats on my devices, but as of now, you allow neither Linux computers, nor Android tablets to do so. You don't presently allow it, but that's really up to you, isn't it? Would you please accommodate it?

ADBlock Plus
My browser is FIREFOX. I recently moved from AOL 9.??? to AOL Gold. In the former I successfully used ADBlock Plus and was pleased with the results. I find that AOL Gold is much like AOL 9.?? BEFORE I installed ADBlock Plus. TOO MANY ADS in Gold. I contacted your support desk and was told that AOL Gold currently does NOT support ADBlock Plus. They suggested I submit this thru feedback.Roy

words banned from chat
Please review common words and terms that are currently banned from posting in chat rooms. For example: Magna *** Laude, a Latin term which means to graduate from college with high distinction. Also, "kitty litter" when chatting about pet cats, and "blow," as in to blow out candles on a birthday cake. Your censors apparently do not understand common English or Latin words and how they are used. There should not be any reason to prevent their posting. Not everybody's mind is in the gutter.
