Get Somebody Besides Openweb To Run Yahoo Comment Boards

OpenWeb continually rejects comments that are completely benign and also rejects comments that contain completely true legal convictions by politicians. OpenWeb makes no attempt to correct these issues and does not respond to feedback. OpenWeb does not deserve to be the responsibility of running the comment board.

HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. ...
the word "oaf" "dastardly" and "Ham-fisted" seemingly violate Openweb & yahoo community guidelines. ...
these are very common words, normal, non offensive words, yet seemingly trigger the bots "Certain parts of your comment may include inappropriate language. Please revise to take part in the conversation." warning.
mind you the whole and full comments where...quote me:
"a no2 pencil... just as dastardly."
"that sign, seems ham-fisted."
"if you swore an oath, don't be an oaf." -

I copied a comment that was allowed by Yahoo to be published and then tried to post it again in comments. It was refused stating that it did not meet community guidelines. That kinda makes one wonder why one was OK and the other was not. The Yahoo Gods need to go.

Need to dial back on the censorship a bit and indicate what words seem to be a problem, and perhaps a link to a chat with an admin. This way people can speak their minds without all the over the top censorship.

They don't want people discussing how one sided their articles are. It had been bad enough that people are having appropriate, non personal attack, responses CENSORED from the chats just because it does not align with their political views. Google is bad, but Yahoo makes Google look like the better choice.
