You must delete your community guidelines because they are a tutorial of censorship and people are afraid of commenting in the yahoo news.Besides moderating comments is profoundly antidemocratic.

My comment today was not posted. I was quoting what was said in the attached article. Someone might be offended.
Well I was offended by a comment made to a post earlier this week.publisher's logo

Reduce system sensitivity for what passes as an acceptable comment. For example, the censor rejected my comment that contained "**** the land." Technically "****" was used, but not in its normal context. No matter, comment rejected.

You can unblock my ability to reply to comments because I am not a lefty. This is blatant violation of my 1st Amendment rights. I have been blocked for over a year now, enough already. The only people allowed to comment are leftists or Trump haters.

Why have you held up my perfectly inoffensive reply for several days now to an offensive comment that made a personal attack on me? While my language is strong, it just tells the person to whom I'm replying (or the trolling bot, sine that is very prevalent) , "Jay" why he's off base and why and how he can fix it. Much bigger insults have gone through even in this comment thread. It deals with President Biden testing positive again for Covid-19 after coming out of isolation. Please let my comment go through, or tell me specifically why you won't, e.g., what precise wording violates your guidelines. Thank you!

You put the worst words in your stories then censor us if we try to write the word dumb or stupid. Are you serious? You think I'll offend someone with a word that's less offensive than one you just wrote and they already read? I can understand censoring hate, but censoring our words is wrong. People reading and writing comments are adults and can handle what they read. You might as well take the comments out again if we can't say what we're thinking. Your stories are pointless with proper comments and seeing what others really think.

Every time I comment on yahoo news articles my comments are flagged stop violating my right to comment.

It would be fair to release held up comments sooner so to refute the lies (or misunderstandings) of other commentators on news item.

My comment was immediately flagged before I posted. I removed one word (which didn't change the meaning of the sentence at all), and it went through.
My comment followed all of the guidelines. That kind of hard coding of words in your filter algorithms is utterly ridiculous in this day and age.

Also, stop with the bait and switch articles where you show something about a celebrity and others are mentioned but the featured celebrity never is shown beyond the introduction. Additionally when you say 15 of something, don't list 75. Next, stop with the next clicking you have to do to read further in an article and miss the button which leads to an ad. Stop with the lies and gimmicks. Maybe this type of context needs censorship and not my posts.

Stop using machines or meek, timid people as your censors. Others have also noted the unfairness you have used. I never used profanity nor threatened violence yet many thoughts were stricken. Maybe your continued use of near naked celebrity women on your Yahoo News should be judged more carefully.

Telling someone that their comment was meanspirited, should have not resulted with a rejection to post. There are some insulting and demeaning comments that definitely should have been rejected, but weren't. But, Hey Yahoo, it's your platform! I'm out!

Why can I not comment on ANY articles??
I understand removing offensive language, but by not allowing me (and others) to comment on ANY articles is comical and why yahoo is losing readers.
please advise if there's something that I can do to make comments moving forward.
thank you.
