COMMENT SECTION: COMMENTS BEING REMOVED BY AOL
You can't say "CHIT" with an "S", but you can access all the **** you could ever want. Go figure THAT out. & they insist on removing my posts because they seem to disagree with my opinion.
Images and some comments will be flagged in our system prior to becoming public.
Here are some reasons why your comments may be flagged:
- Language (Examples may include: all caps, inappropriate words, etc.)
- Suspicious IP
- Any Image
In order to create the best possible experience for everyone, we request that you abide by the AOL Community Guidelines, our core code of conduct, in all of your activities on AOL Services.
For more information, please view our community guidelines: http://legal.aol.com/community_guidelines/

I am banned from comments without a reason. I am not one to cuss, belittle people just say what I think and I am banned?

Why doesn't AOL respond to the question many people ask about how long a comment ban lasts. I would also like that question answered. If I can no longer make comments to news articles I really can't see any point to keeping my account active. So please, show me the simple courtesy of advising me if the ban is permanent or not. Thank you.

Get rid of fact checkers. They do not listen or read what is really being said. I have copied and pasted most of the information that I have posted from aol own story. Now they block every post. It doesn't make sense.There is no one to complain too.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT - I AM A PAYING ACCOUNT. Your news provided by AOL is CENSORING ME PERSONALLY. I know this because I purposely agreed with the article and said it was good, just to see if they would post it, but no matter what I put in, they come back with a standard message that my response 'MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME - DO YOU STILL WISH TO POST IT?' And then they DO NOT POST YOUR ARTICLE... The reason they put the forum on there is so people can post their opinions, either positive or negative, liberal or conservative. But obviously if you don't AGREE with the writer, the CENSOR YOU! This is not right and needs to stop.. If not I will post on feedback, on Gab, on parler, on twitter and every other media that I can how slanted and one-sided AOL has become!!! I have been a customer for over 25 years. Is this how you treat your customers.. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE ON THIS.

STOP CENSORING COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THEM. i have now been blocked from leaving any comments. I am a paying customer, and yet I am not allowed to comment on any news item. I am all for blocking offensive comments. But my comments are NOT offensive. My name has been flagged, and I am automatically blocked no matter what comment I leave.

quid pro quo

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.

AOL has decided that they will now jump on the Twitter bandwagon and censor anyone that posts contrary to their political views. They won't tell you why...they won't give any reason....but they want to keep charging you every month though...that they won't censor!

Someone please explain to me why so many of my comments are being censored along with the threat that if I make more comments that are censored I will no longer be allowed to comment? I HAVE NOT violated AOL guidelines at any time and I'm ready to get my attorney involved in this fiasco. Enough already!

This is what I posted, but it didn't go through immediately and I don't know if it ever did go through because I am SO SICK OF THIS baloney as there is nothing in the post that violates AOL guidlines. I just don't want to waste my time on stuff like this. Here's what I posted: "They not only overcharge, but often charge for procedures that were never done or even might have been done even though they would have made no sense to perform in the first place. My mother was hospitalized at the age of 68 for treatment of her uncontrolled diabetes and was charged for a pregnancy test. I was hospitalized two years ago for a flare-up of my emphysema and was charged for a pregnancy test (I was age 77 at the time), a spinal tap, and a back brace. Last December I underwent a right hip replacement, and was charged for an appendectomy (which had been done when I was 25) and treatment of a fractured right shoulder. However, let's be fair regarding your friend's case. After all, those bullets might have exploded spontaneously while the vests were just lying there so they had to be removed and disposed of for the safety of all concerned. Yeah, right - the bullets exploding spontaneously was about as possible an event as pigs flying through a frozen hell while knitting sweaters out of sows' ears, videotaping the entire journey, and posting it on YouTube. I hope your friend didn't pay for removal of the bullets from the vest."

I would like an email sent to me to say why I have been banned. I do not attack other posters, cuss or post links and photos. If I don't hear from someone, I am closing out my paying membership to AOL! I want to know how long I am banned and why.
