E-mail blocking system
Every day I receive dozens of uselss American spam E-mails which all begin with "contact@.." followed by a different address for each one. Apparently the only way I can block these E-mails is to block each individual message which would take hours. A simple one step by which all E-mails beginning "contact@..." can be blocked would be very useful and timesaving

Database timing
I often note a a pop up saying new post, yet when I go to the post it is three minutes old and therefore out of synch from the service, this happens at anytime, and needs to be resolved for sanity sake. We know that the values have posted so the reporting to us needs to be brought back up to nearly full speed.

Stop blocking words that you're using right in the articles themselves
Ok, the topic is abortion. I cant type "abort babies"
the topic is Joseph Weiner, and I cant type his name?
the topic is pedophilia and an arrest, and I cant type the word "pedophilia" in the comments section?People seem to be able to post the phrase "black people" but yet "white people" cant be typed?
You cant type, "she's hot" even if the sentence was, "If the kid is in a carseat and she says she's hot, then obviously turn on the air"
You cant type, kill. killer, bombed, bomb, blow up, mass shoot, wipe out, or kill…

Stop blocking comments on certain things and allowing them on others
Its clear that any subject dealing with LGBT people have blocked comments, while you allow any story where blacks are doing bad things, allowing for white comments about "blacks doing all the crime"
You blocked comments where republican white people are mass shooting. A space where those speaking against white bad behavior could comment. HmmmSo lets see, you allow for attacking blacks, protect homosexuals, and whte people from anyone speaking bad about how THEY behave.
Ok..got it.. in other words, youre protecting the likely ones you hire..Asians, white homosexuals.

Comment links are non-existent
Your new comment section is broken. Every time I click a link to "View all #### comments" or "View ## replies" - it does nothing. The target link code isn't there. This has been down for a while now and I would have thought that this kind of error would have been caught during beta testing.

Why am I banned for life?
I've NEVER violated AOL's TOS or posted anything offensive or vulgar...never!
I realize that 'the left' hates my comments because I'm a conservative Christian but WHY ban me from commenting on anything?13th ranked -
How can you improve? Get a pen, Jack.
- STOP rejecting comments which do not violate comm guidelines.
- STOP providing NO REASON for comment rejection.
- STOP completely and utterly ignoring the hundreds upon hundreds of complaints regarding this.
- STOP marking legit complaints as "reviewed" without actually doing anything about it. Do one right thing. Either fix your comment system or get rid of it all together.
- LISTEN to THIS MESSAGE and ACT.
You can probably taste my frustration with you. Imagine what actions of yours have caused me to react in this way. YOUR fault. FIx your ish!

It's simple. If a comment doesn't violate your guidelines, you don't reject it. Mind blown?
When will you make an address? When we you announce that you've at least heard our multitude of complaints?

Another marked as "Reviewed" that you've actually just ignored. Fix it. We are FED UP.

You marked this polite complaint as "reviewed" so that you didn't have to deal with it. Now it's back. Deal with it.
Conversation Monitoring
I understand the desire to keep the 'Conversation' board a civil place, which does require rules and 'guidelines'. However, I believe that far too often AOL's monitoring process limits and even excludes legitimate language and conversation.This is not a complaint about 1st Amendment violations, or censorship... It is simply a complaint that honest, civil, and forthright comments and opinions are being rejected for reasons that are not obvious, reasonable, or understandable.
I don’t normally post quick, superficial, 1- or 2-line comments! I prefer to present well considered and researched, factual, informative, and thought-provoking posts; and I spend…

You've marked this as "Reviewed" without, naturally, actually addressing it. Stop being bad.
My comments on news articles are being rejected again. I was able to post in Dec. and Nov. I always follow guidelines
What is the problem. I always follow guidelines. Is it because I'm a conservative and not a lib. Libs can say almost anything and they never get rejected. If I follow guidelines, let me comment. If this bias problem continues, how can we improve AOL. My feedback for AOL is negative52nd ranked -
You've ignored--er, "reviewed" the following yet have done nothing as usual. Now it's back in your cue. Enjoy!

You also marked this as "Reviewed" without actually doing anything about it. Are you too good to simply answer? Even an "I don't know."
Read Comments "Before" Banning Someone
I certainly understand that comments to news articles may be offensive.I also think AOL jumps the gun and bans people from commenting before actually reading their comment.
In a divided country, it's difficult not to offend someone without walking on eggshells. I fell victim to AOL's "overly strict" censorship and was banned. Unfairly, I believe.

AOL can't tell me why my news article comments are always rejected, even though I follow guidelines
