Locked in Vocal jail
My voice kidnapped, rendered mute are my comments. Haikus of sorrow.
I know not my crime
Locked in a Vocal jail cell
Unable to speak
{{{{{{
Muted....Muted...mute
My Comments strangled quite dead
My voice sutured shut
{{{{{{
Life is hard enough
Everything needs not a fight
Simplicity...Works!
{{{{{{
Just tell me the crime
So I can plead my own case
Guilty...not Guilty.
...............................................................
Signed
Frustrated much.
p.s. Can I even publish this?
So far I have seen that Tiffany, Jay Cantor and Mark Graham may have the same or similar 'legal' Vocal problem. What to do? I confess, I'm not yet in touch with them about it...So?????
Remember, I can't comment....so there is that.....

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

This is quite the predicament. It sounds like you're having issues getting your voice heard on Vocal. I've had similar problems with platforms not working right. Have you tried reaching out to Vocal's support directly? Maybe they can tell you what the deal is with your supposed "crime" and help you get your comments published.
So sorry this happened....heard about Jay too. Hope all's well now!
Dear Novel - Cleaned up on Vocal Aisle for the Jail Birds. How are you feeling, honey? I always laugh at the nickname that you've given to me, "Jayanese." I did a sketch for Dhar and sent it to VSS under her name called 'The Jail' ~ Ball and Chain ~ I hope she saw it - you may get a giggle out of it, too? Best to U'z, Kantor with a 'K'
A poignant, poetic protest—Novel Allen turns silence into art, capturing the ache of being unheard with grace, clarity, and quiet defiance.
I know Dharr had this same problem! So weird…
You can't comment, I can't post a story and Vocal say sorry but we'll still take your money Excellent poem
Hey No No ! I'm able to comment again! How about you? How are you?🌸
I’ll give you some chocolate through the bars! “Free Novel NOW! Free Novel NOW!” Yes, and Dharrsheena too. It’s got something to do with the Ai folk I expect..I.e some sort of retaliation. Patience is a key to virtue as they say! Not that I ever had any lol! 😅😆 Sorry you are not able to comment though. Apparently no one has heard back from Vocal either. Fingers crossed they will shortly. 😊
What the hell?
I've added myself to the list of people petitioning to return commenting privileges to human users unfairly deprived. I imagine this may be some issue with their AI regulatory program misreading the difference between its own and humans, but its hard to tell.
May be we should try to write about the problem in the Facebook and other Social Media groups, hoping Vocal administrators will read that there is a problem.
Dharrsheena has been similarly afflicted.
Ai Ai Karamba. This place is getting so hot to trot. Maybe a movie should be in the making..."The Mysterious case of the very perplexing Vocal Dilemma". Making Curried goat and Curried chicken to take to jail. What, can I even cook. How rude. Stay hungry then...Pshaw. How all works out well. 🤗😁
Let your voice speak!
Am I welcome to visit you in this jail?
Dharr and KB Silver does also. I've sent an earworm to Vocal, demanding answers or a fix. This is ridiculous. I have more spam on my post lately than legit users and it's pissing me off.
😐😐😐🤔🫨🫢😉😄😵
Ugh!!! Seems like it's from one thing to the next. Praying you get out of jail soon. If not, I'll come visit ya!
