My comment was flagged because I stated that someone graduated with a college degree *** laude. Have to spell out Bachelor of Science instead of using BS in front of a major. <SEE THAT? THEY FLAGGED THE WORD USED TO INDICATE SOMEONE GRADUATED WITH DISTINCTION!! ISN'T THAT CRAZY????
Also I can't seem to use the words race, racial, racist, murderer, immature, infantile, violent, or many words that Yahoo would post in the articles. Why can't you review comments for their actual context rather than flag words that people would use to discuss the article they read. You even have articles that post actual curse words and you have the audacity (can I say that?) to flag users for their comments!

I wrote a reply to a comment on a Yahoo article concerning scholarships that simply said you can browse scholarships by ethnicity on the internet because someone argued there were no scholarships for students who are white so there shouldn't be any scholarships for POC students. The comment which contained nothing remotely offensive or in violation of Yahoo guidelines was immediately rejected when posted, and also on appeal. It shouldn't be that hard to provide a proper program to screen comments for violations but somehow you've managed to completely fail at it.

I read an article about a woman who went through **** getting proper treatment for an appendicitis then commented on the article that she shouldn’t have to pay a dime for the hospital bill. It was immediately flagged as offensive and couldn’t be posted. I then posted “Yahoo won’t let me say that the woman shouldn’t have to pay her bill”. That one got flagged for review, so I posted it three times. Two of them got rejected. Many other users experience this sort of silliness on Yahoo comment board. I suggest Yahoo shut down the comment boards altogether because they sure don’t know how to run them

Your censorship of comments are over the top insane. You have flagged common words as vulgar or inappropriate. There is nothing that I have posted that is considered racist, or offensive. The only time that I did use anything offensive was the “a word a Senator said, in your article, which was knucklehead, and I got flagged for it. Don’t you see that as completely silly? Do you want people to discuss the articles, do you want the comment section to have people participate and discuss? Please try to use some common sense in applying your community guidelines. You’re almost as bad as TikTok. .

Yahoo fails to recognize blatant innuendos to racism and bigotry in comments all the time, even when you flag them for review. Yet time and time again, users get flagged for simply using regular words. I couldn't use the words 'ethnicity' or 'scholarships' in an article about scholarships and ethnicity. I requested a review of the immediate system rejection and got rejected again. In another article I realized the words 'gossip' and 'rudeness' were being flagged. I'm sure thousands of users can provide similar examples. Yahoo you can fix the issue or simply shut commenting down. You know the moment you decide to shut it down, folks will disappear. It shouldn't be that hard to make an intelligent decision and work on a better system to flag comments.
