    My main account got muted a few months ago for putting "reported" on a lot of the spam on the AMD board.

    It is still a clusterfest of spam by one and one user only, using multiple aliases. (Doggy Dude, Hellraiser, Giga, ...)

    In the meantime I have to use a VPN because apparently the IP range of the country I am currently in is also blocked. This smells of discrimination.

    What a terrible website, honestly.

    why am i being blocked for every comment no matter even if its to say hello

  • CHRISTOPHER MAHER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, I was blocked for months due to my "evil" conservative viewpoints. Woke stuff was hateful and insulting but was able to be posted everywhere.

    I don't even know why my ability to make comment is restricted. At least yahoo should send some email and allow us to challenge or accept their decision. Overnight something happened to my ability to comment and I am clueless

    Some of the posting restrictions can be a little frustrating, but I prefer that to the way it was before. Spam, stock pumping, stock bashing, personal attacks, and political comments all have no place on the forums that should be about share information and personal opinions of a business nature.

    There are a number of comments on the Cleveland Cliffs, CLF board that are totally irrelevant to the company yet they are allowed to continue, which denigrates the value of the board.

    The hilarious thing about this is, that Yahoo now says 'We don't censor'! and 'You can appeal!'. Try it. You'd think that Yahoo would realize that banning people just limits their advertising audience.... but restricting civil free speech to only the 'left' opinions is more important.

    Same here, no matter what I post, it is immediately deleted. I opened a case and I will try to get an update on it, but I suspect I will just receive the "Terms and conditions" response with no explanation. I signed up for 24/7 support but they were no help, so I am going to cancel that today.

    I have literally been blocked from contributing from posting and replying. I consider myself more cordial than many that are able to post and reply with crass or rude remarks. I would like to continue to participate, but if this is not remedied, I will have to find another email home after many years.

    I’m blocked by yahoo for just posting hello or saying have a wonderful weekend. Certain people say anything they want, typically nonsense or inappropriate insults, why are all of my posts rejected? Thanks, James Bailey

  • Scott Hettinger commented  ·   ·  Report

    I sent an inquiry on this and was told by Yahoo that they have a known technical issue that is causing some accounts to get blocked. They supposedly fixed this for my account, but now again the problem is re-occurring.
