Stop censoring negative comments regarding Fox News' lies.
Why are comments regarding Fox News repeatedly prevented from posting by Yahoo!. Fox News is a lie factory and has no place in a legitimate news feed.

I have had so many comments, such as one using the word "****" in regard to a gun violence article rejected that it's not funny. Such words are part of our everyday vernacular. Another using the word "lunatic" referring to tRump was also rejected. Yahoo is coming way too close to violating freedom of speech for comfort. Maybe I'll start copying the rejects for a class action suit....

I had several comments disappear today after being posted. I've had many comments rejected that did not violate community guidelines. This happens with some frequency on Sundays or Mondays. Sometimes some comments are a little sketchy so I get that but opinions that may be unpopular still deserve to be posted .I am unable to find comments that have been replied to. I am unable to to post feedback because the box does not feature a submit button so I have chosen this route as no other is available.
My news feed seems to have been "dumbed down" recently. -

It has become abundantly clear to me that Yahoo has banned the word "homocracy" from the comments section on articles. Every time I try to use it, my comment is rejected. The fact is, the word exists, it's not a slur, and it shouldn't be banned. Lavender Man might change the name of the United States of America to Homocracy of America. Who knows? First it was the Gulf of Mexico, next it could be USA to HOA. Please stop engaging in such censorship so blatantly. Thank you.

I replied to a comment, and you it failed to meet your standards or whatever and asked me to "retry" which that link didnt work so I hit "reply" again and reworded my reply which failed and did so after rewording it 5 or 6 times. Then I typed the lords prayer and it still failed. And this happens to me EVERY TIME I TRY TO COMMENT. Now Im shutting down my yahoo mail and getting another homepage Later

Interesting that you allow people like "kevin" and "Bill", that insult and threaten with EVERY post, yet I've been banned for over a year for nothing. I'm just too gorram polite for you, is that it? If I insulted and threatened with every post, I'd still be good?
You're useless...

Your censor algorithm is sorrily uneducated and has "rejected" many of my remarks due to Yahoo's intellectual shortcomings. The word "he l l" for instance received a rejection by your arguably inane and ignorant system. Yahoo will eventually drive the intelligent to other sites. Have a good day, jerks. ;-p

I used to be a Moderator on an international social media site. I have a good understanding on what is acceptable and what is not. Rarely did i have to take down or reject a persona opinion /post. But with Yahoo there is an "overboard" practice of censoring comments that do not offend or violate any laws. That tells me that your moderators are just too dumb to understand a legitimate posters opinion or comment or just reject when any of a thousand key words are used. Yahoo has blocked most of peoples free speech which offends no one. Much of which is obviously tied to political control of your service. You should always state why a post is rejected. Not some stupid "Policy" remark.. Yahoo is too often seen as a joke with poor grammar, spelling making it appear as if it is managed by Jr High School kids without the use of Spell Check. Perhaps that is true to save overhead costs!

All of my comments are rejected for no apparent reason. Is this a glitch or is it censorship. None of my comments violate the rules. Any ideas?

My comments are always rejected. This censorship needs to stop ASAP.
My comments are rejected outright....I must be on a ban all comments list.
Please allow my comments.....I wish you would allow free speech.

Your community guidelines are vague. Every comment I post on an article has been rejected for violating community guidelines. Despite being the most vanilla comment imaginable. Do better.

As of today I have stopped commenting on Yahoo! articles. The AI has gotten ridiculous and now filters out even legitimate comments. Congratulations Yahoo!, you have succeeded in making yourself completely obsolete.

Your algorithms for 'censoring' FREE speech need revising down. It appears that more Liberal speech is accepted over Conservative comments. FB's Zuckerberg has 'seen the light.' Yahoo needs to follow suit!

Why have you removed the ability to reply to comments? CAN'T HANDLE A DIFFERENT OPINION?

When people try to make comments on your website, stop censoring that **** and actually let people talk. So ******* sick of that ********. You cowardly *** dogs might as well have just left the ******** comments turned off permanently.

This is resulting in you losing business due to censorship. I just transitioned my company to another platform, even banning the Yahoo home page from our servers. Changing rules and offending 60% of your customers to bend over backwards to appease 15% of your clientel kills your business. The censors should be used if anyone is pushing hate or violence, but not when no threat exists. I was the last one in my IT department to still use Yahoo, just because the format was familiar and easy to use. Your reputation now is really bad because you demand everyone agree with everything you publish. Why even have comments?
