I submitted a comment and posted it only to see ‘Comtent deactivated-Why?’ What does this mean?

@MusicGirl100 , AARP is off until MONDAY. If they DONOT "respond" to you ON THIS SITE, you can call them. Good luck!

Thank you. I will call. It was an innocuous comment about a supermarket in my area that offers a senior discount. One sentence! And it gets flagged… Don’t understand this at all.

Thanks for your reply. My comment, verbatim, "Publix supermarkets in NC offer senior discounts on Wednesdays."

If that goes against community guidelines, I will never comment again.

On the article discussion boards I’ve noticed some words in all caps, such as acronyms get flagged. Spacing or periods etc, are a way around the AI catch all net.

In your sentence about the grocery store, it could have been the abbreviation of the state that did it. Otherwise name of store. You can try rewording with what may be the keyword that snagged it up, then submit etc. A game in itself, that proves to be a challenge at times and needn’t be.
