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

@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.

The LOTRO Store remains unavailable while we troubleshoot an access issue. Thank you for your patience. We will let you know when the Store is once again available. #LOTRO

@TeamYouTube Just happened again: Posted a comment and 3 seconds later it was gone. This video: youtu.be/9rBj85NM8DY

@JohnMHammer thx for the details! we'll pass this along with the details you've previously shared

@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?

@TeamYouTube This is the last video to which I submitted an almost immediately-deleted comment: youtu.be/HJ7AOtiVCG0 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.

@JohnMHammer we're looking into this! also, mind sharing comment IDs or video URLs where you’re encountering the issue?

@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.

@JohnMHammer comments might disappear for several reasons. it's possible that your comment was deleted or blocked by the channel owner or was removed due to policy: goo.gle/3PWo0Ve lmk if you meant something else

@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.

@lotro According to this tweet, the worlds should be open cause it's 6pm GMT which is 2pm EST.... so why aren't the worlds open?

The LOTRO game worlds will be unavailable on Wednesday, July 12th from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) for maintenance and to release Update 36.1. Release Notes: lotro.com/update-notes/l… Thank you for your patience and we will see you back in the game soon! #LOTRO

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

@nytimes Be happy for when the civil war comes all of the media will be finished

The Justice Department on Friday unveiled an indictment charging Donald Trump with seven crimes. The charges relate to Trump’s hoarding of sensitive government documents after he left office and his refusal to return them. Read the complete indictment. nyti.ms/3qCX02D

Bike Twitter: I just had a shed built for our bikes. I need to store 3-4 of them vertically. Anyone have a rack you like? I think I like one where you can fold bikes over after hanging to save room. Fenders on 2 bikes might cause issues.

@srslybarryb @Newyorkist To hunt down runaway slaves?

@Newyorkist Look all I'm saying is we have a 2nd amendment for a reason

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

@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.

@JohnMHammer @luisferre @nytimes Look I get it. You made a fool of yourself and rather than just take the L and move on you are going to keep replying until you have the last word so for once in your sad, pathetic life you can feel like you "won". Go ahead, you know you won't be able to stop yourself 😀

NEW: Gov. Kathy Hochul’s ambitious plan to boost housing production in New York has collapsed. Fell off the table after opposition from lawmakers during state budget negotiations in Albany. nytimes.com/article/nyc-ho…

@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…

@JohnMHammer @luisferre @nytimes I'm sorry, I assumed you were intelligent enough to comprehend that property developers, even though they may be a business, are individuals. I apologize for my error in assuming you were.

@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?

@JohnMHammer @luisferre @nytimes Right, because in your delusional version of reality, a speed limit is exactly the same as forcing an individual to build only government approved multi-family housing... 🤦‍♂️

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

@luisferre @nytimes When the government tries to "force" you to do something, it never turns out well...

@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.

@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)

@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...
