I apologize for the confusion. That feature has been disabled for some articles/publications, thus giving the Content Deactivated message, not your comment. If I can answer anything about membership or benefits, please let me know! Jodee R.
I get this all the time. For example, in the "Daily Multivitamins May Help Aging Brains" story, I just commented: "They're called supplements, and that's the reason why I take them: to supplement the vitamins and minerals I get from meals. You can get a year's supply of a brand-name multivitamin for under $20. Like golf, you can always spend a lot more if you want." And it was flagged with "Content Deactivated - Why?"
Worse, clicking on "Content Deactivated - Why?" doesn't do anything. It doesn't tell me why.
Lots of other members have complained about their comments being flagged with "Content Deactivated - Why?" or "Awaiting Review" and then sitting in that limbo for weeks or months.
I emailed AARP tech customer service and am awaiting a reply. I'm pretty sure it's AI gone haywire, simply scanning our comments and making plenty of errors. I also play some online games and they are rife with artifically high scores that would be impossible for us mere mortals to achieve! Frustrating beyond belief.
Achieve a top score in our Tournament Tuesday Word Games in May and you could win $100 every 30 days!
