I comment on aol news stories, and they wont get posted1
When I post a comment on an news article, they are only posted for half a second and then disappear, what can be done? AOL told me to contact you, that you could help.
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.)

What is this, Communist China? I don't have any problem with censoring violent or threatening posts, but opinions shouldn't be censored. And to give other posters the power to gang up on others to get them banned/removed from a particular discussion because they differ in opinion is the very definition of censorship and bullying. What are we becoming here?

It seems like my email address is blocked because I make a comment and within 30-45 seconds, its rejected saying I didn't follow community guidelines and that's on every comment. I do follow all the guidelines

You need to rethink your banning people from conversations. I used exactly the same language being used by other posters who were liberals but I got banned. This is not freedom of speech but suppression of speech.

I've been blocked from commenting for at least 10 months now. I posted about it and got the response that maybe it's because something I said violated standards yet no one can or will tell me exactly what I did. I posted two words recently- "I agree" when the commentor was calling Biden a good man. Instantly I got a "you've been blocked" notice. Seriously? Someone at AOL stop giving canned answers and tell me directly what exactly violated standards about this or any of my other previous comments. I'm not going to let this go

I have not been able to post a comment in almost 10 months now. I have been given multiple reasons for this. The most recent is that I was "blocked too many times". I have asked for exactly what I ever said that was a violation of the guidelines but no one can tell me. My comments are tame and I've seen much worse. I would seriously like someone at AOL to tell me exactly what I've done and (if I have) how to make it right.

no matter what I post, it gets rejected. I called customer service and they said to post my problem here to get some action. Why is everything I post rejected? I know for a fact that nothing I've posted violates community standards.

Stop blocking my comments, there is no reason to keep doing it

STOP rejecting comments unless they have vulgarities. I spend 5 minutes typing or more, then get a "your message is rejected"?? I PAY for AOL and this is not good service.

Everytime I write a comment on a news article it gets rejected saying it doesn't follow community guidelines. Why is that, I don't say any insults, profanity, obsene, or inflamatory language. No matter what I say it always gets rejected. My conformation # is 12218554. I would like to get this taken care of. Its like my user name is blocked

Known anti-Trump author and ridiculous Yahoo spin.
Read what Trump said in this article!
Pretty clear.But watch the lemmings here say... well ' he never had a plan'.
Not only was he elected on a plan.... has accomplished 90% of what he promised.
Next closest was Reagan at just over 70%.
Given the vitriol and obstruction from dems.... what he has accomplished is short of a miracle.God Bless Trump.
Take back the House....
Find Joe and Nancy good Homes....
and America will be even GREATER than imaginedUnemployment apps down for 13 straight weeks..... Dow at record hi.
US Covid deaths LOWEST per capita in the world.
BLM being exposed for the Marxist Anarchist Org they admit they are on their own website!Go America 2020..... Trump in a landslide by AP/Reuters/Gallup ... even Silvers and Brookings.
NOT paid Soros owned polls.Vote OUT EVERY failed Lib Mayor and Governor Known"
HOW does that violate ANY guideline.
It was MY Comment... MY opnion... violates NO posting rule.
BUT... does not accept your liberal narratives.So explain.... in a constructive dialogue....
WHY am I not allowed to post that thought.
It is NO fifferent thhan any I have made for decades.Waiting!

Why do you reject all of my posts? There is no bad language and no disrespect going on. I am not allowed my opinion.

AOL needs to review it's "1st Amendment" rules as apparently they don't allow for honest debate.
They allow really hateful right wing posts. But do not allow anyone to challenge these hateful posts. Perhaps AOL should just close up shop! -
Thomas commented
An AOL poster literally said "send in the tanks" I tried to post "this is inflammatory" and I was BLOCKED. AOL is nothing more than a Trump cesspool at this point!

AOL rejected that without explaining why and its true. They let people run President Trump and all Republicans down but say one negative thing about Democrats and you get rejected ASAP.
The Democrat party is the party of Jim Crow, the ***, Welfare, Segregation, Higher taxes, Open borders, Supporting erasing our history and wanting to make this country into The United States of Venezuela. They have been trying to tear our country down since the inception of the Democrat Party. They should be renamed the Demoncrats since its a more fitting title because they also are working to remove religion and God from the United States of America. BLM and Antifa are other offshoots of what they helped create.

Your snowflakes monitoring the comments section have decided that "Drumpf," the original spelling of "trump," is a bad word. The good news is that you're free to come out of the closet and hang up all of your Nazi memorabilia. Gratz
