FIX YOUR COMMENT CENSOR ALGORITHM

Whatever bots you use to censor comments are broken. I've been trying to post a benign comment that doesn't attack anyone, doesn't use any profanity, and doesn't use any of the other stupid words you Yahoos have deigned to censor (because you're retards, one of the words you censor). Yet you will not post it, you keep deleting the comment. It is incredibly frustrating and one of the reasons why I'm about to drop Yahoo and never visit your sites again.

    Every article that he a negative headline against police or white people the comment have disabled. why is this? This in censoring. What good is free press if they suppress view point and push narratives

    I cannot get why curse words can be used in an article yet not in comments.
    Also the word asset -do you know what that means Yahoo?- is censored.
    Pathetic website and not user friendly at all.
    What is the point of giving feedback if it is not responded to?

    The Yahoo moderator has repeatedly turned benign words in my posts to cuss symbols in order to give the false impression I used a racial slur in my comment merely because I'm conservative. Here is the latest example:

    On the article “Charmed Star Holly Marie Combs Slams Trump For Her Grandfathers’ COVID-19 Death”, a commenter pointed out the media has blamed Trump entirely for the coronavirus. Somebody responded by asking if the commenter would give Obama a free pass. The word "free" was not turned into cuss symbols in his question. So I pointed out “The media has given Obama a free pass for his expansion of the national debt and handling of the H1N1 flu”.

    The yahoo moderator turned my comment into “The media has given Obama a #$%$ pass” to give the false impression I had cussed or used a racial slur. Why is the Yahoo moderator turning the word “free” into cuss symbols, and why only in MY posts? Oh, I know: Because I’m conservative, so Yahoo’s moderator wants people to think I’m using racial slurs.

    Okay, here's a new one: Obviously, Ellen DeGeneres must have stepped on some powerful person's toes because nobody's buying that Yahoo and the rest of the MSM turned against Ellen merely for being one of the many, many wealthy celebs who still cut her staff's pay during the shutdown. There was an article acting like she was the only one, and the Yahoo moderator would not allow me to name all the other wealthy celebs and studios which had cut staff pay or laid people off, though they were wealthier than Ellen. If I complained about the biased moderator, that posted, but nothing else would. I had to agree to hate Ellen. It was weird. I could not even post quotes from celebrities/articles or even links proving my point (any article links from Florida's Sun Sentinel are apparently out). I was not allowed to argue with anyone who disliked Ellen. The guy I was arguing with called me an imbecile, tushtard (new one for me), drool-dripping idiot (yes, this is for defending Ellen), but I was not allowed to respond to him merely by calmly pointing out: "Gaffers work for a set hourly wage". Something was apparently wrong with MY response, but not his continued insults of me. Is this a homophobic moderator or is Ellen being penalized by Yahoo for befriending President George Bush? The Yahoo moderator absolutely refused to allow me to point out the discrepancy between how the article (and Yahoo) was treating her versus how they treat everybody else in the world.

    Occasionally I attempt to post a comment, but it immediately disappears. Why does this happen? Below is such an example from today. Does this violate guidelines? After repeated attempts, including changing the wording, the comment would not post.

    POST: Dear Hmmm?: I apologize for those of us CORVIDEEOTS that are too stoopid to understand your posts.

    However, as of now, it does not appear that coronavirus is likely to spread from processed foods or packaging. This seems counter-intuitive, but testing has been done in this area, and is ongoing, but so far it seems to not be identifiable as a risk factor, as opposed to person to person contact and proximity which clearly been identified as a major risk factor. Still, human nature is such that we would all be nervous about eating food processed in a plant identified with coronavirus.

    Today, the Yahoo moderator decided I could not comment on, nor post links to, reports from the Center for Disease Control or US News because the reports state that a record number of American children have died from this year's flu. It's still flu season, but the Yahoo moderator won't allow me to warn anyone! It's apparently because these links also admit it is the H1N1 flu strain that has returned to kill so many kids. There is not a news source that admits how deadly this season's flu has been for children without admitting the virus strain. What can I do when children are dying? How do I warn people? He is the moderator right now as I am typing this. Please replace this yahoo moderator with one who likes children. Here are the links I can't post or make relevant comments about:

    https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm
    https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-03-20/coronavirus-pandemic-overshadows-a-deadly-flu-season

    If you have a child who dies from this year's flu, please sue Yahoo for blocking the information I tried to post in my attempts to warn you.

    Reable my comment section..I have been punished long enough for what some thought were rude comments.............

    Tried to post this to an article today, Yahoo still can't tell me how it violates terms of service:

    "And then you have women like Angelina Jolie who cut off perfectly healthy breasts because there's a "chance" she could get ****** cancer."

    What about that comment is in violation, Yahoo? Nothing, that's what. Nothing. But your algorithms are ****** and arbitrary and wrong in most instances. But you guys are too lazy or corrupt to do anything about it. ******** and **** Yahoo.

  • Brad Cole commented  ·   ·  Report

    Indeed. The censoring of comments has become absurd - completely arbitrary.

    ******** Yahoo you useless sacks of ****.

    Tried to post this comment today but you keep censoring it:

    "Why don't you get one of your rich friends like Jeff Bezos to pay it off? Why are you going to put the responsibility on taxpayers like me?"

    What in that comment violates your terms of service, you useless *&%$-wads? Two years now this has been in the top 20 feedback suggestions and you have yet to respond in any way. I hope every last one of you is laid off.

  • Kevin LaBuda commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you allow ISIS, Antifa and liberals to comment, post death threats etc, but dont even allow any conservative comments, you are communist garbage just like your CEO, which is why you are bankrupt, YAHOO used to be a great search engine, email provider, now you are nothing but the Lefts propaganda mouthpiece rivaling hitlers nazi propaganda machine, you would make him proud

  • Mean Mr Mustard . commented  ·   ·  Report

    HEY YAHOO ! YOU ******* ******** ARE CENSORING ALL MY COMMENTS NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. PULL UP STAKES & MOVE TO YOUR CENSORING ***** TO COMMUNIST CHINA WHERE YOU'LL FIT RIGHT IN & BELONG

  • Kimo Tichgelaar commented  ·   ·  Report

    Discussing the Iran-Iraq situation requires using the word "shiite" for a follower of Shia, which is censored in my posts.
