Fix capricious comment banning

PLEASE FIX THIS !! I am a longtime loyal Yahoo user who does not deserve to be treated this way.
On December 29th, per instructions from a Yahoo Help representative in Estonia, I filed a report, reproduced below, that for several months I have been blacklisted from commenting on Yahoo News stories. Although I have received no follow-up response from Yahoo, I have been hoping that the situation would have been resolved now by now; but today - January 1, 2026 - I made a two-word "Test comment" post that appeared to have been accepted.
However, after only a few minutes had passed, I received the by-now familiar e-mail message that "Your comment on Yahoo has been rejected," saying "Your comment on 'Videos released in Epstein files raise fresh questions about jail footage' violates the community guidelines and has been rejected"

Here follows the text of my report from 12-29-25:
Notify Yahoo News users of being banned from commenting, and how to resolve.
Ladies and Gentlemen: I just now talked to a helpful Yahoo representative in Estonia, and he directed me to this site for resolution of my problem: For more than two months now I have been effectively blacklisted from making reader comments regarding Yahoo News articles. No matter how respectful, benign or "vanilla" my comment - such as "good point," for example - it appears to post, but then I soon receive an e-mail message saying that I have "violated community standards" and my comment has not been accepted.
I have received no notice or explanation that I have effectively been banned from commenting, or how to go about resolving this ban, but it is quite apparent that this is indeed the case - even though I have always tried to be respectful and non-controversial in attempting - albeit unsuccessfully - to comment on various Yahoo News articles.
Please tell me how to go about resolving this exasperating dilemma!
Thank you and best regards, MarkT markt_a1b@yahoo.com
