Why has my yahoo comments been blocked for the last several months?

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.

After hundred if not thousands of complaints on comment s not being posted, yahoo still doesn't get it. What's really bad is sometimes a comment goes thru but then another one on another news article fails.

It seems that if Yahoo actually wants dialogue, it should not be so that some articles allow for comments for days, while others only an hour.

why don't the readers here get any response from yahoo?

failed to publish is yahoos answer to free speech

Fix the Comment link, please.

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.

I hope to enjoy your site.. for many more years!

I was quite surprised to have a comment deleted when I expressed my fears about the up coming election. There was nothing in my comment that wasn't common knowledge or frequently repeated on the news?
Am I over surprised at this ? Perhaps.... because it has never occurred before. Thanks for listening..J.R.

Fix the issue Yahoo or just come out with how you really feel about some of us. We have followed the rules but wonder if you just don't like what we have to say...

STOP REJECT MY COMMENTS LOTS PEOPLE COMPLEMT ABOUT THIS NOT RIGHT WHAT YOU DOING LET THE PEOPLE EXPRESS THEY CONCER PIRIOD

Be fair, not biased.

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
