Rejecting of comments
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!
Hello. While we cannot speak about specific comments, policy interpretations, or actions action in relation to specific comments outside of with their original poster, we seek to apply the Yahoo Community Guidelines as evenly, fairly, and objectively as possible.

This is an important forum. The machine censorship is out of control. Put some humanity into it.

The machine is rejecting all my comments, even the word test. The machine misinterprets my words I get rejected for using people's names and sarcasm. There is no consistency to applying your guidelines and there is nothing anyone can do or talk to anyone. I spend a lot of time on my posts and get rejected before I can copy it. I request to be able to copy rejected posts.

Fix the problem. And do better with the onerous censor algorithm. I just skim the articles and try comments once if I get the stupid "failed to publish" I could understand a rejected if I made a comment that violated the rules, but my innocuous comments (today if failed to publish my answer to a comment with just the word "Both.") That violated no normal standards. yahoo comments is capricious and overbearing.

As an American I have a voice a little voice. So why do you shut people up and out. You make me fill like the opinion police is going to show up at my door. But I might show up at your.

Specifically this happened when I was defending transgender kids last year. I was banned from commenting on everything. Now it all says that my comments are not allowed. I have posted simple items, repeated other comments, still the same response. Yahoo stories are subject to farms of commentors for one side or another. Likely happening in the complaint department as well. Let's post my comments that got me banned.

When someone said Donald Trump did not say journalists should be jailed, I posted a reply that cited the news organizations and dates of when Trump said Journalists Should Be Jailed. This was rejected for violating community standards. I appealed and initially the rejection was reversed, but then reinstated. I didn't use any foul language, make any threats or call anyone names, I cited facts. I believe this is censorship and THAT violates Yahoo Community Standards.

Yahoo censors JUST LIKE COMMUNISTS! When it ALL COMES OUT, this is NOT a threat... YOU SHALL be HELD ACCOUNTABLE. If you did nothing.. THERE'S NOTHING to worry about :-D

Your blocking of people's comments on a selected topic is not rational. Stop infringing on everyone's first amendment rights. I don't use vulgar language in my replies but have received them from others. I don't know who reviews the comments but they must be a very biased and inconsistent group.

Yahoo, are trying to abandon at least 1/2 of the country by your suppression of conservative comments? Any of you sensor goons even paying attention?

Stop infringing on everyone's first amendment rights. Freedom of speech is allowed EVERYWHERE Yahoo.

Clearly this is not only an inconsistent or biased censorship issue, but my account has now been targeted. We face threats to our freedoms at every turn these days.

Timothy Willing commented
The articles themselves are inflammatory and many times insensitive. I dont understand the AI format or algorithm guidelines for the censorship used here, but it also is targeting accounts, or blackballing users. If you publish an inflammatory article you have to expect a certain degree of inflammatory response. But today I had just simply the word "Vote" rejected in one article and in a different article just simply the " insensitive" ..... That is clearly targeting me as a user !!!

Timothy Willing commented
Why is every comment that I submit rejected from different articles ?
Even simply he word "Vote" was rejected and in a different article simply the word "insensitive" was rejected.
Where can I get help ? Who can I talk to ? Why is help not available ?
Is my account blackballed because my opinion is not shared by Yahoo ???
Am I considered a threat ?
If I am considered a threat then how secure is my Yahoo email ????
A reply from Yahoo would be nice.... Please ... -

It's obvious that Yahoo won't admit to censoring comments from specific users under the guise of a technical malfunction.
Put on your adult underwear and state the obvious. Telling me my reply/comment failed to post gives the impression that Yahoo has either a complete lack of a spine or has an IT department that is overpaid for their failures.

You guys need to let people know why they can't post a simple comment like what follows this... And others will follow as well.

John Anderson commented
Many hate post allowed from left/liberal towards Trump and GOP but any slight on Biden or Dems the post gets kicked and then your tagged and no longer able to post. Ya, that seems fair....

Harry Johns commented
as usual....why would I ever make Yahoo my home page? Go back to the way it was where you could eliminate certain "news" feeds.
