Why does AOL keep rejecting my comments stating they violate community guidelines, when they don't?

She is absolutely correct. You seem to censor those comments which are not in your lexicon because they may be conservative. For example, you seem to ignore a comment about Beto O'Rouke which disagrees with what he believes will happen in the governor's race in Texas.

Yes this incident will definitely shake up the governor’s race but not in favor of Beto O’Rouke His shameless and despicable display of political grandstanding was totally insensitive to the grieving families. He does this supposedly in the name of helping but what is really happening is that he is foraging for votes without the slightest concern for the emotions of those whose children and other loved ones were murdered. The solution is not repealing the Second Amendment but requires a more realistic approach to security in our schools. There is virtually no way to stop evil or insanity other than to find it and prevent it before it festers. Security measures should be taken and money used for the safety of our children and loved ones rather than for Biden's woke political agenda.

For 9 weeks AOLO has rejected my comments without any reasonable rationale

I've been banned for life from commenting on AOL. WHY?<<<Who knows, because they don't tell you. They just ban EVERY comment that I make....period.
I've Never been rude, lied, or said anything bad. I just have always told the truth.
I'm thinking that I've been banned because I'm a person that believes in The Bible; The Constitution of the United States; and I'm a conservative.<<<3 Things that, apparently, AOL wants to silence.

AOL's guidelines have nothing to do with the rejection of comments. You can find comments all over the place, that violate their "guidelines": What they clearly don't want, is a substantial discussion, based on facts, where people can have a discussion, based on real opinion, facts, etc, but rather a lowest common denominator shouting match. Post any, uncomfortable facts about, say our involvement in Iraq, and it will get rejected. It's as corrupt as anything in Russia or China.

I have been a member of AOL since 1991, when it was dial-up. That's 31 years.
Lately, it is clear that far-right elements are protected at the cost of everyone else.
It is clear that my name--not just any comment-is the target of overbearing censorship.
I will admit that I have transgressed against the Community Guidelines on a very few occasions; however, even--for a month now--when I have absolutely complied with the Guidelines, my posts are blocked.
There is no method of redress, and I have called Customer Service several times to complain--only to be told that I need to log my issues on this forum--and being kept on hold by Customer Service for 30 or more minutes, or told--like today--that there is basically no solution but to wait, no method redress, no one I can converse with to unlock my ability to comment, that is simply stifling my voice with no clear reason anyone can or is willing to explain to me.
There is no method by which someone whose name is obviously targeted for absolute censorship can find out exactly which comment(s) led to the censorship, or how to address the issue(s), or any kind of guidance pertaining to how to get a fair hearing about the issues or recision of censorship.
I have reported AOL to the FCC repeatedly because this is a CLEAR violation of my freedom of speech.
I fully intend to provide a transcript of this "idea" to the FCC in a continuation of my complaints against AOL.
AOL: If you are going to act as the sole arbiter of censorship, you MUST provide a documented method of redress for people who are being censored. Anything less is yet another sign of the creeping fascism that threatens everything Americans hold dear.

Many people claim in their comments that they are blocked because they don't express views that agree with left leaning AOL. But I see plenty of conservative views posted, including some very mean and nasty things.

Then I try to post a response, with even the most tame of messages and get blocked.

IF THEY CENSOR ME , I ASK MY AMEX FOR A REFUND THAT MONTH . SO FAR SO GOOD THANK YOU AMERICAN EXPRESS

ONCE YOU ARE BANNED, AOL WILL DELETE YOUR COMMENTS, REGARDLESS. SO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OR USER NAME IS WHAT GETS YOUR COMMENTS DELETED AUTOMATICALLY.

Yeah, they adhere to that stupid wokeness narratives. Once you re banned, you will be banned for life! It does not matter if your comments praising them, as I tried to find out if it got rejected and sure enough! It was.

The best solution is for all conservatives to drop their membership in aol. It only listens to liberals, so let the liberals support it. I intend to do so.

Several of my comments have been rejected lately stating they don't align with community guidelines. I review the guidelines but don't see where I am violating them and i don't know who to contact to review where my comment is in violation.

aol rejecte Prayers for all those affected by the war!! Aol is unethical and immoral!

Someone commented that Putin should "Take into custody to prevent further bloodshed by the innocent or kill." I asked "And just whose responsibility is that {name not included}."
Somehow, the censor(s) found that a violation of the rules. The RULES seem to be applied capriciously. After a number of such PURPORTED infractions I am blocked from any further postings on the article. How does that support honest, open dialogue, AOL?

I was sensored for using the term "God bless the people of Ukraine. You could at least let us know what terms you find offensive! ALSO - Your instructions advise commentors to keep to the subject but you never seem to sensor some people who rant on and on with comments that are no where near the subject of the article

I refer to 'myself' as a "dummy" and my comment is rejected
It has been suggested that a list of 'trigger" words should be posted.
A very good idea.
Somehow - I have come to believe that are no persons reviewing these complaints and observations. AOL is content to have us flounder around while they collect advertising dollars

They ban Independent's also

AOL has also rejected me for life from entering ANY comments. I've NEVER made any kind of offensive or off-color comment and have NEVER violated their TOS.
The ONLY reason that I can assume is that I'm a conservative Christian<<Which The Left HATES.
And, if that isn't the reason, then why???

I'm PO'd as well about ridiculous comment moderation that rejects the most harmless words that clearly are NOT in violation of guidelines.
HOWEVER, crying "free speech suppression" is laughably inaccurate here.
AOL does not owe you publication of your speech. It's their bad platform. They have exactly ZERO obligation to publish your content. You have every right to start your own platform and enforce your own standards of acceptable speech. You do NOT have the right to force another entity to adopt your particular standards of acceptable speech. It's utterly ludicrous to think so.

"The 1st Amendment is hugely misunderstood. It blocks Congress from making laws that limit free expression. It says nothing about publishers being FORCED to publish your work, in fact, it says nothing about citizen-to-citizen behavior. For any of the rights defined in the Bill of Rights."

no site allows free speech. none. the amount of comments ive had censored is unreal. its very stressful. these sites are causing stress. why are they allowed? took me ages to post on some sites as they so slow. but when i finally do they arent there. and my pc crashes as well..
