Do your censors understand their own guidelines? It amazes me what they let stand (offensive, racist, biggoted, abusive, inflammatory sorts of comments), yet they regularly remove comments that are COMPLETELY benign, with absolutely no explanation or clue of how it violated your guidelines. It's honestly baffling to me. I have read your guidelines closely. You ought to make sure that your censors have so they know what their purpose is. Otherwise, I think that they may just be deleting random comments just so that they look 'busy' and keep collecting a paycheck or something.

Stop all comments. It is a cesspool of hate, racist talk and serves NO purpose.

I just submitted the most mundane, average, comment having to do with Kendrick Perkins that was censored by Yahoo. There was absolutely nothing out of line and/or in conflict with my comment, unless yahoo thinks proper, intelligent expressive writing is a VIOLATION. Yes, it's small potatoes, but the arrogance in Yahoo is getting worse and worse, and there is nothing worse than knowing I am completely in the right and "playing by Yahoo's rules" yet still get censored. HELP ME OUT YAHOO, PLEASE POINT OUT MY TRANSGRESSION because I do not see it. Probably because no transgression exists with my comment. C'mon Yahoo, this egregious and arbitrary censoring is totally out of line and wrong on your part. There is nothing at all wrong with what I wrote and if you put my comment in front of 100 readers, 99 would agree with me, and the Yahoo censor would be the only one who did not !

Let's stop the censorship. It a move back after all the gains that have been made in the last 50 years thanks to people like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin.

And I should also say this is ******* ridiculous, a bunch of ******** running the Internet. I know I am sick of it. I hope more people will put in their two cents because no one likes it. And I was censored for using much milder language.

RE: Commenting. You won't even allow "soft" profanity. Stop treating adults as children. The censorhip is out of control

You now based an entire post on 'ONE' word, and determine it's inappropriate. What kind of 'comment' feature does that? I will look for another outlet, and until you change this absurd censorship, I will not be back. COWARDS

At one time, I could click on the alert that told me someone had commented on or liked my comment, and it would take me to my comment, or at least to the article. Now nothing happens when I click on the alert. Please bring that function back. Thanks!

Your news feels so one-way since you "temporarily suspended" your Comments sections. It started around when Trump was elected—which I could understand, as that created such controversy. But it's been several YEARS now, and Comments haven't returned. What's the deal? If you don't plan to restore them, how about removing your "temporarily suspended" message, which just seems like a tease at this point? Thanks!

Yahoo community standards are absurd and extremely far-left leaning and it doesn’t even occur to them. If you mention words like, communism, equality and social justice, they flag your content. Read a history book and understand the Holocaust, Maoist China or Stalinist Soviet Union did NOT occur overnight. Measures were put in place and things got wildly out of control.
