Your censorship rules need to be redone
I am appalled at your censorship with the posts on yahoo. You censor the sound a door bell makes which are also the words to a famous song in the Wizard of Oz, 'Ding **** the witch is dead" A phrase that was in a report on Margaret Thatcher on your home page but when I used the exact same phrase you censored it. Yet, you allow racist hateful remarks to go uncensored. Yahoo - inciting hate and racism in North America.

Yahoo is doing a very poor job in making sure the users comments are not rude or discrimatory. I will definitely be switching my homepage to someone else.

I made a comment stating "I'm sick and tired of peoples lifestyles and beliefs being forced on the masses"..."Masses" got censored both in my original comment AND in my comment re: censoring such a word.
British Dictionary definitions for "masses"
/ˈmæsɪz/
plural noun
1.
the masses, the body of common people
2.
(often foll by of) ( informal, mainly Brit) great numbers or quantities: masses of foodHow is this word offensive??? Why aren't many other words with "***" in them (pass, glass, etc) censored? Yahoo's censorship policy has long passed into idiocy. As a matter of fact, I'm offended that Yahoo, in it's infinite wisdom (or lack of same) has taken it upon themselves to protect me from reading words that they have decided I need to be protected from, since, obviously, they believe that I'm not intelligent enough to know if I'm offended or not! Guess it's time to drop Yahoo in favor of a more mature website.
I don't really know why I waste my time writing this complaint/observation/suggestion....Yahoo doesn't read them anyway.

How can you possibly justify the new (last few days) policy to censor the word 'gay'?
It is deeply offensive and bigoted to do that. It is profoundly ironic as you use it even in headlines of your articles. This is foul! -

I completely agree! There have been consistently violent and agressively racist posts on Yahoo! News sites and there is nothing done about it!
