@lotro The forums appear to be down. "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later."

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@lotro Some folks are concerned that any LOTRO Points they earn in-game during this store downtime will not be credited to their accounts. A comment regarding that here and in the official forums would put many minds at ease.

@TeamYouTube Just happened again: Posted a comment and 3 seconds later it was gone. This video:

@YouTube Many of my comments on videos have been deleted. Channel owners say that it is not their doing. I’m not violating rules, mainly complimentary and/or helpful. Can’t you tell me WHY my comment is deleted so I can learn how to avoid wasting my time in the future?

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@TeamYouTube This is the last video to which I submitted an almost immediately-deleted comment:
https://t.co/gHsUZA7XeX
The comment was similar to the one published comment (from YouTube user kristenwheeler9684) I can see there now, mine was shorter but similar in content and presentation.

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@TeamYouTube Thanks for the reply. The channel owners I interact with say they are not removing my comments and they don't have some moderation queue to manage to approve comments. I am absolutely not violating policy. The comments are removed within seconds, it must be something automated.

@EdhelLilla @lotro Because as I'm writing this isn't only 13:14 EDT. It's Daylight Savings Time in the US and the time reference for the servers and maintenance period is US eastern time. EST is when DST is not in effect. Yes, it's 14:14 EST right now, but only 13:14 EDT.

@HomlyCat @nytimes Won’t it be much harder to get your meth if that happens?

@srslybarryb @Newyorkist To hunt down runaway slaves?

@macworld Thank you for removing those abrasive, intrusive notification permission popups.

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@kevicss @luisferre @nytimes Not one actual argument. All these hours later and you STILL haven’t read the article or the actual legislative proposal? You’re so dumb you wasted money on a blue check. This is like a discussion with a squirrel. Delete your account and try again, failure boy.

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@kevicss @luisferre @nytimes Translation: “I didn’t even read the article let alone the governor’s proposal and I’m not going to, so here’s another ad hominem insult.” There is no slavery provision, no business would have been forced to do anything. Who’s the delusional one here? Silly blue check dude…

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@kevicss @luisferre @nytimes Which individuals would be forced to build “government approved” multi-family housing? Pretty sure there’s nobody on that list. Did you read the governor’s proposal at all or just go with your gut yippi-kai-yay pew-pew from-my-cold-dead-hands reaction to the title of the article?

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@kevicss @luisferre @nytimes I guess you can't drive 55.

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@macworld Your new notification beggar popup which pops up every single freakin' time I go to any of your pages every day every time is extremely rude. Congratulations working out the code needed to make a popup appear even with Safari set to block popups but this is BULLSHIT.

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@lotro There were a lot of purposely offensive messages deleted at about the same time. I carefully avoided any banned references and referred only to myself and my own background. My comment should not have been removed and I should not have received a forum infraction.

@lotro ...game itself. I hope that the SSG staff think carefully about the need to refine or drop some of these new options which I am sure came from a place of inclusion and caring but are going to provide tools of distress to unethical and cruel sorts of people. (end)

[John M. Hammer @JohnMHammer]

@lotro ...combinations appear. And beards for females of the Race of Men, especially when combined with some of the other new crude and jarring options on Bullroarer right now, simply provide a platform for mockery of both certain groups of individuals as well as the...

@lotro ...playing songs from The Grateful Dead, either? But cartoonish and ugly avatars don't belong. I know this is only a first pass on Bullroarer right now, I simply hope that the staff working on these new options understand just how crude the current presentations and...
