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 government and Yahoo have started censoring conservative talk again. So boycott yahoo and anyone who advertises on here. And vote the fascist out of office.

If you are a conservative, the government and the propaganda machine Yahoo has started to censor us conservatives since it is a election year. So boycott yahoo and all that advertise on it and vote the democrats out of office. They are Fascist's.

Working class people Yahoo don't like you complaining about you lot in life one here. They don't care that you are suffering just like the government. So vote the liberals out of office and keep voting the replacement out until they get tired of being out of office after one term. We are the biggest group of American and we can put anyone into power. But now I have been banned by Yahoo so boycott them.

As with the liberals below I would like to cancel news people that I can't comment on. I maybe a conservative but I should have the same rights. Youtube has that feature, so you can too. And just like the liberal below I would like to make sure CNN doesn't make money off of me. As they would like Fox News not to make money off of them.

I'm done with Yahoo. I'm conservative and a Trump supporter and have been called every name under the sky from lib posters. Yet I leave comments that are just my point and they delete them. They can have it. I'm back to Newsmax where both left and right posters can post without constantly being harassed by far left dem moderators. Change the name to Yahoo Democrat Party forum.

Ive had many comments rejected and were not at all vulgar slanderous or threatening and contained no profanity but did go against the topic of the article or opposed the view of the author that wrote the article and objective criticism is the purpose of having a comments section to allow those of opposing points of view to state their comment on the article.

In the comments section of the news feed posts you only allow comments that are for the topic or that are for special interests of yahoo and not allow the opposing perspective view comments. I understand not allowing comments that are crude threatening or derogatory but most of us adults are capable of making a comment that is opposing but not profane or threatening. If only 1 view is allowed to comment then it should not be called News but should be called News filtered by yahoo.

You can tell Yahoo is moderated by women.

How can yahoo community standards reject my simple comment "MAGA = Making America Grossly Amoral" if you're tuned in at all to watching and listening to Trump (an avowed pathological liar) use much worse inflammatory speech. He's now even channel Adolph Hitilter and Benito Mussolini's use of the word "vermin" regarding those he'll destroy if elected.

Why do you have gifs available for use if they are going to get the post removed by your censors? Remove them from being available if you people don't like them.

this is the second time my post was put on hold (and I really am not sure why) I can guess because I called the other poster a crybaby, yet in both cases so nasty things were said about me but they were allowed!
So unless you are going to censure all of it dont just do some of it.
when I am called a **** and you allow it to be posted how are you protecting anyone?? -

Welcome to Yahoo comments! Please keep conversations courteous and on-topic. To foster productive and respectful conversations, We would agree to this if you did not selectively block comments from designated parts of the country.

This comment was posted in response to the article, “Pro-Gaza ceasefire activists shut down Manhattan Bridge for hours” on 11/29/2023
According to liberals:
A black man supports Trump - slamming him is fine.
A black man is anti-Trump - slamming him is racist.
It was rejected. Please explain just why it was ‘censored’?

As per our illustrious replublican party what has happened to 'freedom of speech'?

I don't understand your guidelines for feedbacks. If I don't use nasty language I can still have a comment rejected because for some reason it seems to hurt 'someones' sensitivities! Holy Jesu..just how much do we need to cater to everyone's snowflakeness? Life is harsh, buck up. These young folks need to enter reality! Like the young women who graduated COLLEGE and cried because she couldn't believe she had to work 9-5!!!!! It's like ??????. I even expect this comment to be rejected! Trump has no problem hurting anyone's feeling and Fox praises it but If I try to tiptoe through my responses to an article I'm rejected????!!!! I need some clarification as to why. AND, I would like this explanation sent directly to my YAHOO EMAIL ACCT.
