A headline posted this morning from The New Republic described Trump's lawyer as an "idiot". When a comment contains this kind of negative description or criticism, it usually results in the comment getting flagged or removed. Is this kind of insulting language allowed in headlines because they are paying to have their stories posted? Is there a double standard -- one for users and one for contributors or advertisers? Your inconsistencies make people upset and create a lack of credibility in your terms and conditions. The rules should be applied to all or none.

I posted an inert comment about a football game, and my comment was rejected, as was my appeal. It contained the word "bull" but no cursing. It was critical of referees and the NFL, but there were no disparaging remarks made about them or any individual referred or individual person. This is the comment: "At that point in the game, at that spot on the field, the most important player on the field (as far as calling penalties) was only being watched by one ref? Seriously? If Darnold had committed a penalty, I'm sure more than one flag would've come out. Shameful... and a load of bull."
I don't understand the algorithm or the reviewers standards as this is not the first time I've tried to post an inert comment and it was rejected and so was the appeal. And, something else I've noted is that any criticism of the Yahoo news feed partners brings a rejection (comments about stories being inaccurate or filled with errors). If we're not allowed to comment critically while consciously avoiding any language that could be a violation of decorum, then what's the point of allowing comments at all?
The standards need to be reviewed and fixed to allow for context and for an algorithm or human misinterpretation. The word "bull" is not a violation of the terms.
