Stop deleting comments that don't break the rules without specifying what rule is being broken. Yahoo is censoring free speech.
Stop deleting comments that "break the rules" without specifying what rule is being broken. Yahoo is censoring free speech because it doesn't align with their political views.

This!
I make a post saying the historical fact Russia didn’t take any land from Ukraine during Trumps term, but did in both Obama and Biden’s terms.
Just straight up fact.
That gets deleted.
But now someone replies to a comment of mine about inflation, and does nothing out straight up call me “stooopid”. And that comment remains even after I report it!?The biased background here is not even laughable.

The moderators, censors and thought police at Yahoo, are just plain rabid. With the 'power' they hold on the site.

I had a one word answer rejected and rejected on appeal today. The answer, and I quote, was "No."
It's getting ridiculous.

It would be nice to know why my comments are being rejected, after the fact, when there are no curse words, no threats, no violence, and no obscenities! We deserve to have an appeal link!

Don't you know Yahoo is a profit making corporation?
Why are you surprised that they are limiting free speech?
(Let's see if this one makes the cut.) -

I just got an email from a comment I made 25 WEEKS ago, saying it was rejected for not meeting community guidelines. My comment was in no way argumentative, hurtful, or combative. I just made a comment about a new Star Wars article that was riddled with holes. I pointed out the writer did not do their homework before publishing the article. Sad day when something as simple as that gets rejected, and 6 months later on top of it!

Apollo Global Management owns Yahoo and has allowed Yahoo comments to be run extremely poorly. Filters and algorithms that don't work as intended censor comments that do no break the rules. It's frustrating.

Yes, in agreement. I’ve loved Yahoo for years of my life because it was a free platform to support everyone’s perspectives, interests and opinions. Suppressing user conversations isn’t why I come here.

What is up with the relentless attacks on Trump, but not a whisper of mention about Biden’s colossal failure as America’s the Greatest Country in the world…who survived him as our biggest joke and most embarrassing leader, in history, for the past four years?!??!!?

"Your comment did not publish" is insufficient reasoning.

Yahoo comments are run by the company OpenWeb, not yahoo.
OpenWeb's "AI" is extremely faulty, and their "Moderators" uneducated and/or ignorant.Often, a slight change in grammar (like hyphens or such) will make the difference between accepted & rejected comments.
People should start bombarding OpenWeb with complaints regarding comment rejection.

If you can say you dont believe in religious beliefs then you should be allowed to say you dont believe in the LGBTQ+beliefs also. Because most of us dont believe in the gods and we also dont believe when a man puts on makeup and a dress he magically turns into a woman. To us its still just a man in a dress.

Yahoo s content moderation procedures are laughable. Just today I had two comments rejected. Neither used profane language or threatened any group or individual. I basically referenced the very words used by former President Trump, and criticized people who still defend him despite his inflammatory rhetoric and habitual lies (without any of his childish name-calling). Both posts were rejected. Yet I see literally dozens of comments that promote or suggest violence against other users and/or engage in the type of name calling the terms of use purport to prohibit.
Get your act together Yahoo ... Until you do my searches and visits are going elsewhere.

This is probably the most critically important feature that Yahoo fails at. We clearly have foreign adversaries bot-farming, yet I can't use the phrase "bot farm" without it being offensive. I'm not even sure Yahoo has human moderators; just AI developed at Harvard. Yahoo allows information dominance in its comments, and it is very sick. Deleting my account I've had for decades as soon as possible.
