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.

The rejection to this comment proves yahoo is anti USA and Israel, The leaders of the US and Israel hating countries need to be killed.

You should fire the people charged with reviewing comments on articles to insure posts are in keeping with "community standards. Every post that I attempt to publish , none of which violate guidelines used to be tagged with "some people may be offended, blah, blah... try again . Now all I get is, "your post didn't publish, try again. I NEVER use profanity. I NEVER attack other posters. I use impeccable grammar. What I do is devote time to researching my facts, so as not to publish moronic, illogical nonsense such as " you, and any other demoRat who supports (Biden) that communist mass murderer of 820,000 Americans by having open borders during a pandemic should be shot" , or this post that is visible now that I have copy/pasted herein, that was approved and published-- "ROFL generational inbreeding has left you incapable of effectively interacting with reality, please back away from the meth pipe, put down the PBTR remove your fingers from whatever poor relative you have drugged and bound in the back of granny’s double wide and seek help." Nothing you could have possibly done could go as far toward destroying my respect for Yahoo than placing imbecilic cretins in positions of "community standards" oversight .When I think of the hours of time I put into composing posts that were not only rejected, but greyed-out so that I couldn't even copy them to use on sites that are not compromised by employees who've been hired into positions for which they are grossly unfit

Why is the following not allowed on an article about winter driving?
What us uncivil about it?accelerate slowly, I disagree about the tires, slightly under inflated tires (not flat) will provide better traction. Have good wiper blades and clear the windshield, other windows and the outside mirrors before heading out. Clean off the headlights and brake lights so other people can see you. Keep your windshield fluid container full of quality fluids rated for below freezing. Carry a couple of scrapers in your car along with your food and blankets, extra coat, gloves and boots. carry a small shovel. If you live in or travel through a questionable area and have proper permits, carry self-protection in your tool kit. Make sure you have a full tank of gas and charged phone battery, charge your EV.
Keep your momentum whenever possible especially going up hills, once you stop you make everyone behind you stop. Then it's very hard to get going again. Don't assume those around you have a clue, many won't.
Use a lower gear and let the engine and transmission help keep your downhill speed in check. The article says don't go downhill, well if you go up you will have to come down too.
Keep the defroster vents open and unblocked. If you can start your trip with the car already warmed up, you will be more comfortable and relaxed making it easier to use extra caution and patience.
Finally, 4x4 or AWD will help get you going. Provide a little more traction and steering control. But it does not help you stop. Do not let it make you overconfident.

For over a year, every single post I make on the news boards is INSTANTLY rejected as is every single appeal.
It's driven by software. No way anyone is actually reviewing posts to reject in that time. But I have been unable to find ANY place to report this or get help. I even snail-mailed their corporate attorney's office at the official address and it came back as undeliverable.

My response to many articlles continually is blocked. " Community Guidelines" are obviously a tool of "Yahoo's" liberal agenda! If my comments are not in line with Yahoo, I am rejected!

Stop censoring a person’s comments, AUTOMATICALLY. Remove the censorship list.

Everything that I comment on respectfully about Palestinians and Russia yahoo news rejects, and Truth Social accepts, This is why Truth Social is growing at a rapid rate for both conservatives and liberals, all comments are respected on that site.

You are either accepting money to diminish ideas contradictory to Republican ideology or your monitors have been hacked.

How can anyone determine if their comment is good or bad when a common phrase without any bad or unscrupulous words such as what I used is rejected?
-
Rob Shapiro commented
When I replied to someone with "In your dreams" my comment was rejected. Yahoo needs to better ascertain what is good and what is bad. There is nothing, zero, bad in what I said!

I comment on an article, and my comment gets rejected immediately. Even if I respond with one word like "Yes". Its clearly not a violation of the community rules. Happens on every single comment that I make. These are not even political posts. Many are just regular news articles that have nothing to do with politics. And, its instantaneous, which leads me to believe that somehow my username got black-listed or something.

If the words in a comment can be offensive and you reject it, DON'T USE THEM IN THE ARTICLE ETHER!!!

Yahoo news will reject your comments for using words they allow in their articles.

Stop using the algorithm to monitor comments. Using it violates your own community standards. Hire some people to do the job. Or modify the algorithm so it doesn't prevent legitimate commentary as it does now. And you are using cookies to track people whose comments are rejected, which is violation of our privacy, Stop it!

Stop using the ******* algorithm. It's a violation of our human rights.

Why can I say Palestinian on your left wing pro Palestinian selective 1st amendment website but I cannot say the name Jew?

Allow historical facts and truth to be part of comments. Noting that Trump said "vermin" shouldn't result in rejection. My comment: "Isn't it just so ironic and just like Trump to use the word vermin in describing his political enemies. Vermin was the word used by Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, two of the most heinous Nazi war criminals of WWII." Why was this comment rejected?

Your censor ship is getting childishly worse, (PCS105,I stand corrected.) this time you people send me an E- mail and tell me why this reply was rejected in detail, Truth Social, X and many others would find a complementing reply very acceptable.
