Why is yahoo continuing to reject ALL of my comments? All of them! What gives?

Yes, the moderation here absolutely makes no sense, is broken, and needs to be given a serious examination. Today I reported a comment to another user that was nothing but an animated gif of Dwayne Johnson saying "Shut up, [female dog]" and got the response that it wasn't in violation of community standards. Precisely how is that not a violation? In whose bizarro psyche does this "maintain a safe and respectable environment"?

Yahoo! should allow votes and possibly additional comments about a broken feature at least until that feature is fixed.
My original complaint was about difficulty finding my comments. Since there are already several posts about this, this would be a duplicate. Given that we are not supposed to post duplicates, I would like to support the older posts about the same issue. But, neither can I do this, since these discussion have been closed.

I demand to know why my last few posts have been rejected. I followed YOUR guildlines and never said ANYTHING bad or a lie. But for someknown reason one of your employees or maybe some computer AI didn't like what I said or how I said it rejected my post. So I demand to know IN WRITING why.

This is so irritating. I love a good back and forth debate or even an open discussion. I will get a load of replies but can't get to the original among thousands of comments.

When I click the blue button to reply to a comment the link goes right to the beginning of the article, not the comment.
Also, when we get an email saying our comment was rejected, there is no appeal option which there should be.
The AI Yahoo uses misinterprets a lot what we type is unacceptable.Yahoo does not give the user a way to send a comment to a person.

The Guidelines are more like unwritten Rules & Regulations. When you reject a reply, you should state a specific reason or reasons. Also, you have an unpublished list of words that you cannot use in a reply, even when that word is in a direct quote from your article. Publish the list in your Guidelines.

Fix the broken moderation system. I had a comment rejected today in which I did nothing but clarify a definition that was being used in regard to the article. No snark, no hate, just a simple clarification.
That got rejected, but an incoherent, all caps comment about chemtrails was allowed
Another moderation problem is that openly racist comments are allowed. Lots of them. Every story involving a criminal or suspect who's black gets flooded by racists posting whatever they want.
Main suggestion: replace OpenWeb.They can't even manage to provide basic message board functionality, much less competent moderation.
If you want people to engage with your new stories, give us a working engagement system.

Why is it that failed to publish happens so many times on articles about the psychobabble ******** of transgender garbage. that **** is a mental illness that needs to be eradicated right along with anyone that protects or pushes it. I hope Trump pulls all Federal money and military out of California then declares war and obliterates its. I truly ******* hate you people and your censorship.

First off, get rid of OpenWeb. They are anything but Open. Your site is ridiculous with the failed to publish ****. It works fine for awhile then all of the sudden I can't post for days.

Fix your AI. It's on the fritz again and is rejecting comments with no reason and no apparent understanding of English. I get that you want to be careful, but when you have an article (as an example) about a mentally ill homeless person, and your bot rejects comments with "mentally ill homeless" in them, you might want to figure out how to fix things.

Clicking on the comment bubble does nothing now. Comment section disappears when clicking directly on the link at the bottom of any given article. This is on the desktop version of your site. On mobile, the comments notifications are still not taking the user directly to the comment specified, like it once did. Do you have a UX team? Why are they not fixing these bugs, it's been several weeks.

If a comment is rejected, the message I receive should include the original comment as well as an indication of what actually caused the rejection. I have had a number of comments rejected that were, in my opinion, completely benign.
How am I supposed to learn from my mistakes if I don't know what the problem was? Furthermore, if my comment was actually acceptable and was still rejected, how is the moderation system going to improve without actual feedback? -

Yahoo and OpenWeb are anti-union. I posted on an article about the longshoreman strike, and all I said is that they are asking for a raise, because their last raise was pre-covid, and pre-hyperinflation. Unions only get 1 shot every contract to get a raise to make up for the shortfalls of the last contract and that needs to incorporate shortfalls of the next contract. My comment didn't last 3 seconds before it was rejected for "Community Standards." The same standards that aren't listed anywhere, and are made up on the spot. There's no recourse and no way to redress the system.

Stop censoring comments that don't align with your leftist agenda
