Is OpenWeb "profiling" commentors ?
It seems that OpenWeb may be profiling commenters. I place 3 separate comments in 3 different stories. The 1st one was flagged waiting for approval (still waiting hours later). Wrote another less "damning" and still flagged for approval. lastly I wrote a simple 10 word comment that was almost that of a sentence and once again waiting for approval. Until now I have never had this happen. Yet in light of my 3rd comment I am calling BS to this system and I would like to see a neutral party examine the algorithms being used by OpenWeb as well as processes to disapprove or approve comments. From monitoring some comments it looks like the "system" is prejudiced and not allowing some
This however is now over shadowed by the possibility that your contractor is singling people out and creates a "bad person" list and the software doesn't actually look at the written comment for different stories.
That is not what the "community" guidelines say to me. PROFILING is not proper. This tells me that the software used has errors and can not be trusted especially if it is creating lists of people to have ALL COMMENTS manually approved. READ the Following Comments for this post there is more.

So here is another comment ...---> Seems the only voter fraud in this country is committed by Republicans...
--> seems like someone is using the name of political agency and perpetuating more bad feelings regarding our last president , yet mine above only eludes towards people -- for god's sake its a darn pun!!!!! the other one I said actually says ----> "Seems the only voter fraud in this country is committed by Republicans..." YOU TELL ME MINE CANT BE APPROVED BUT THIS ONE GOES RIGHT IN? Once again I call BS. You are not following guidelines its pick and choose ..I have been noticing that as the comments came back on they were nicely received but i have also been reading that there seems to be odd veto and approvals. People are noticing that there is favoritism is being used and the Freedom of Speech has been flushed down the toilet. I intend to continue checking this out and I will have other people on the watch as well. -

And this comes in --->
Your comment on Trump Held a Contest for Small-Dollar Donors to Have Dinner With Him. No One Won has been rejected as it contains content that is in breach of our community guidelines.
My Comment was --->
I don't have a "ruble" to my name.
---Please tell me what Guideline has been broken? Specifies no one but me saying something about money. I can't see where this has broken anything and quite frankly it's a simple play on words dealing with the world situation.
If you would follow your own community guidelines and apply what ever logic you are using then there would be no stories you could print, but then again you pay OpenWeb so I guess you are not in the profile list. Figures
