Auto-Highlight the offending word when prompted "Are you sure you want to post this?"
There are times when the problem is clear but other times you can post something like "I prefer dark chocolate" under an article about chocolate and you guys are like "nah". It's honestly difficult to post completely innocuous comments at times.

the word "oaf" "dastardly" and "Ham-fisted" "verbal kung fu" seemingly violate Openweb & yahoo community guidelines. ...
these are very common words, normal, non offensive words, yet seemingly trigger the A.I. 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."
"alright enough verbal kung fu".all those comments where blocked / rejected, or until (I) figured out what may have wrongly triggered your bots to block my comment.
i cannot help but feel a great aversion
to using the yahoo news and comment features, if such common, non offensive words and sentences are forbidden to be used.thank you.
