I agree with this position 100%. I feel that allowing comments of some stories is totally at the discretion of yahoo. But it is so irresponsible and it creates a bias.
I saw a story that yahoo chose to publish detailing a person in Alaska using a "white privilege" card to give to law enforcement officers instead of proper ID. According to the article, she expresses her support for the "men in blue".The article itself is what it is. But to purposely not allow comment on an article of that type makes yahoo no better than other organizations who attempt censorship.
I have always supported yahoo and will continue to do so. It is my default go to on everything. But the powers that be, picking and choosing when a person can and/or cannot freely express, is truly beneath the standards of excellence that yahoo has maintained over the years. Either let everything be up for discussion or go back to allowing no discussions whatsoever.
Highly disappointed.

Yahoo News used to be pretty decent with the comments section. Now, the only thing bringing me to Yahoo is a junk email account I use maybe once every couple months. Open up comments.

You have an article on here Yahoo News
A North Carolina city hired a Black town manager. Then its entire police force resigned. This is not journalism, this is one person trying to make an issue into a racial issue. He does not talk about the former Town Manager who was also black. You are not allowing comments on this article, but every article below it has a comment section. It is articles like this that help perpetuate racism, stop letting any idiot post what ever they want. One person in the town says it is a race issue, not the majority of the town. If you want to end racism, stop making everything about race. Not everything happens because of the color of the skin. I think the media should be sued every time something happens in this country because the media only wants to show one side of the situation and it is never the truth -

You comments policies are childish . . as in adults can't converse like adults because you are afraid some 9 year old is going to read something "offensive" . If you are going to post articles that are offensive, controversial, expressing ideas that are NOT always factually correct, you should allow for the same thing in Comments. I posted "Trump is a ****" and was banned. Really? I mean, are your algorhythm editors all Sunday School teachers as well? I mean, you post photos of girls hardly dresses, beach bods, bikini ads, underwear ads, etc, but I use the word "****" when talking about the 10 year old OHio girl, and you censor me? Really?

opinions are the key to real life cures. they help to understand what's going on and what people want to hear, not your censorship as long as it's not degrading of full of bad manners

Please allow comments and only block those that threaten physical harm to another person or group of people and those that use name calling instead of a civil discussion with thier opinions on the subject.

Why are other allowed to comment? I see them appearing the last hour same day, etc. I am way more conservative and benign in my comments. Something is wrong, or comments are now geared to be one sided? I can't even comment with the word "Test".

I see that you have reenabled commentary. Following either the login link or the sign up link does not allow commentary on articles. All it does is reload the page. Address this immediately.

Ban the word broad

Your censoring is way off. You allow a man to make derogative statements about women, calling them "broads" and "they are only good for riding my pole", but if I call him an incel my comment is deleted. If I use a Yahoo emoji, I get flagged. "Your comment contains an emoji and may not be published." And then you delete it. Why do you have emojis if we can't use them? You also have articles which depict nudity, like Kendall Jenner posing naked, but if I mention the words naked or nude, my comment is rejected. Time after time you post articles with words we cannot use in comments. Perhaps "broad" should be one of the banned words, unless of course you too are sexist.

What a bunch of gutless worthless cowards. "Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting"

I have a suggestion for future news. Only print stories like "Rancher Jose Sanchez" in Texas is shipping 4,000 cattle to market in Hereford, TX. or Mary Lou has a special recipe for German Chocolate Cake or the Ladies Garden Club is having a fundraiser to raise money for the food pantry in Neb. or Cynthia Smith is marrying Bill Jones in Minnesota. Maybe those stories will be acceptable for your sensitive ears. As a educated teacher and professor, you are violating the First Amendment in principle. If comments are really bad and use bad language, I can see your point in suspending these comments, but suspending comments based on one word that you don't like is another word censorship . What is going to happen to your news, you will lose your audience over time. Then you will need less people to do the jobs as they did before. Is that what you want ? Be careful what you wish for . I sincerely ask you to consider what I said and hopefully do the rational thing. It makes more sense overall. If you do not want to consider what I pointed out, just do away with all controversial news and the comments' section. This is what dictators in various countries have done in the past and the present. Hopefully we are not there yet.

Why is Yahoo trying to limit comments on the news page ?
