Such an awful tragedy. This should have been handled much better nationally, but we have incompetents in charge.

And this one? What is the crime here? How is this not censorship?

He followed Trump's CDC guidelines.

What was wrong with this one? Why was this a violation?

Not too many 35 year old running backs in the NFL any more. This shouldn't be shocking to anyone.

Why would this be censored? Where is the violation of community guidelines that warrant the action.

Football is a young man's game and a 35 year old running back is ancient in today's NFL. Not really all that surprising.

You indiscriminately block posts. I haven't been able to say Yay for months. Fix it.

I just had several comments rejected by AOL. In my comments, I did not misstate one single fact or contradict any objective truth. I was entirely civil, call no one any names, used no profanity, or otherwise insulted another AOL user. AOL chose not to provide any details about why my comment was rejected. This is maddening, frustrating, and just plain wrong. I have been a member of AOL since the company's first product hit the market. My first email account was an AOL account and my primary email today remains an AOL account. I feel as though I am being driven out of my own house for no good reason. If this happens many more times, AOL will have lost me as a customer, as well as being another "click," I suspect that many others like me who are not left-wing, progressive, or socialist will do the same, walk away from AOL, never to be seen or heard from again.

I cannot post in articles without having everything censored or under review. I posted the word no and absolutely as responses to articles today and have had them censored for violating guidelines while much worse is allowed to stay up day after day. This has been happening for weeks now and my comments aren't even offensive. It makes zero sense. How is saying that Nash could be a good coach for the Nets be offensive and subject to community guidelines? Why would that need to be reviewed and removed? It is censorship plain and simple. Please let me know how to rectify this and if it can't let me know so that I can cancel my subscription. This is no way to treat people.

Feedback on why comments were monitored and/or rejected would go a long way on helping people interested in posting stay within your perimeters. It's hard to follow your guidelines when they are vague and we don't receive feedback to help us understand the delays to our post and/or rejections.

AOL is now manually reviewing all comments. This is a horrible idea. It seems this means that aol censors will be reviewing each comment, which leads to more bias in censorship because people are inherently biased, including censors. It will also detract from the spontaneity that users enjoy.

I've submtted 3 different comments today on three different pages of topics, and each one fully complied with the guidelines yet they were not posted, and "subject to review". I understand the filtering for profanity but arbitrarily blocking a post which has no profanity or derogatory insults amounts to plain censorship.....and the link after the message of "why" doesn't explain why it just refers one back to the guidelines which are ambiguous and subjective to whomever is reading the post.

Post ideas that are different from aols agenda

Stop censoring me or I will sue you. Dont charge for 2 months of being interrupted. I am a paying member

You are infringing on my rights as a true American when it has been proven you allow foreigners to post .

Why censor my posts when I have yet to threaten anyone but you allow others to do that daily. Today I have not only been censored for saying a great idea but for asking why I was censored?

Give us the actual REASON a post is denied. I posted a single word - CORRUPT - and it went to your people for approval. This is infuriating. What is the motivation?

I support Trump. My posts are deleted. That is wrong. Period. You think this is going to help get biden elected. It will not. The media has been exposed.There is no way of holding onto the perfect setup you thought you had. The only way forward for the media is to report the truth.

My idea is to stop banning people for stating the truth !! I only stated what your story writer had put in the story , I did not violate your TOS !! If you don't want opposing views just put at the top ,No Conservatives or Independents allowed to comment unless you agree with the Liberals on here !! I have been a member of AOL since the 90s and I have never been so disgusted by the bias they show today as it has become more propaganda than news !! You really need to school your censors !!

It is disgusting how you censor opinions that don't match your own!!!!What right do you have to do that? Why do I even bother to complain? Nobody from AOL really cares about an unbiased commentary. It's all slanted to the radical left side. IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT I LIVE IN A COUNTRY CALLED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND YOU ARE CENSORING MY OPINION. HERE IS WHAT MY OPINION WAS REJECTED BELOW. READ IT!!!!

YOUR CENSORSHIP IS NOT IN LINE WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Your comment on Attorney General William Barr spreads mail-in voting conspiracies has been rejected as it seems to contain content that is not in line with our community guidelines.

How can the journalist of this article believe that he is reporting the facts? It is unbelievable the bias that they put in their articles. Just look at the first sentence: Attorney General William Barr continues to spread mail-in voting conspiracies. How about if you just report the facts and let ME decide. By they way I agree with Barr. We have NEVER EVER experienced the volume of mail in voting like they want to do for this election. That's why there really isnt previous evidence - BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER VOTED THAT WAY BEFORE!!!!!! Why do people keep saying that if there is no evidence then that the person must be spreading conspiracy theories. Is the author too stupid to realize that the reason that there is no evidence is BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER VOTED THAT WAY BEFORE!!!
Its obvious to many that when you have mail in voting especially on the magnitude that they want it to be for this election, that corruption will be had by all - because politicians will do anything for power! I think the author should get a real job! He is spreading gossip and his article reads like a tabloid!

Why not just take all of the articles off of my computer. All I really need is my mail.

AOL needs to be dissolved by Congress.
