Rejecting of comments
Telling someone that their comment was meanspirited, should have not resulted with a rejection to post. There are some insulting and demeaning comments that definitely should have been rejected, but weren't. But, Hey Yahoo, it's your platform! I'm out!
Hello. While we cannot speak about specific comments, policy interpretations, or actions action in relation to specific comments outside of with their original poster, we seek to apply the Yahoo Community Guidelines as evenly, fairly, and objectively as possible.

The articles themselves are inflammatory and many times insensitive. I dont understand the AI format or algorithm guidelines for the censorship used here, but it also is targeting accounts, or blackballing users. If you publish an inflammatory article you have to expect a certain degree of inflammatory response. But today I had just simply the word "Vote" rejected in one article and in a different article just simply the " insensitive" ..... That is clearly targeting me as a user !!!

Why is every comment that I submit rejected from different articles ?
Even simply he word "Vote" was rejected and in a different article simply the word "insensitive" was rejected.
Where can I get help ? Who can I talk to ? Why is help not available ?
Is my account blackballed because my opinion is not shared by Yahoo ???
Am I considered a threat ?
If I am considered a threat then how secure is my Yahoo email ????
A reply from Yahoo would be nice.... Please ... -

It's obvious that Yahoo won't admit to censoring comments from specific users under the guise of a technical malfunction.
Put on your adult underwear and state the obvious. Telling me my reply/comment failed to post gives the impression that Yahoo has either a complete lack of a spine or has an IT department that is overpaid for their failures.

You guys need to let people know why they can't post a simple comment like what follows this... And others will follow as well.

Many hate post allowed from left/liberal towards Trump and GOP but any slight on Biden or Dems the post gets kicked and then your tagged and no longer able to post. Ya, that seems fair....

as usual....why would I ever make Yahoo my home page? Go back to the way it was where you could eliminate certain "news" feeds.

There needs to be a policy across the board for the types of comments that are accepted or rejected. The racist comments seem to get posted with no problem.

Stop removing pro Palestine comments from boards while allowing hateful pro Zionist comments.

Opinion is 'JUST THAT." We have the right to respond, just as you have the right to publish. In the matter of Mr. Trump, the lenders should have performed a professional inspection on all properties before approval of loans. Now, they want to whine and persecute the president for their failure. Your censorship of my previous response is unforgivable. Freedom of expression is a sacred that is supported by the constitution.

You are turning into the National Enquirer. And you block replies to news stories that don't fit your agenda. You are so full of yourselves that you don't see the inevitable collapse coming. I am in the process of getting a new email address and will most likely never view your site again. I will tell people I know....and they will tell people they know....and on and on. I'm doubting seriously that you can fix things before the collapse comes.

I have a problem with my comments being summarily rejected because I am a Conservative, while the Liberals are permitted to post every hateful message they can come up with. I thought this was America the Beautiful but I guess it has regressed into something less when Mark Zuckerberg's way of thinking is allowed to permeate other platforms. I am very disappointed.

Your comment on "Anti-Trump Burnout: The Resistance Says It’s Exhausted" violates the community guidelines and has been rejected. My comment was "LOL!". That's ALL! And, another one I posted was an answer to someone asking about the location something happened in. My reply? One word: Yes.
However, when this was reported: "Niq qers gonna niq." Yahoo said it was NOT a violation. GOOD GRIEF. You people are INSANE.
EDIT -- OH LOOK! ANOTHER REJECTION This time for : "I have to stop reading articles like this. They always make me cry". SERIOUSLY YAHOO? WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU?
EDIT2 -- Yahoo, you've gone over the cliff with rejecting comments that are CLEARLY NOT against the rules or guidelines. It's gotten to the point that almost EVERYTHING I post is rejected, and NONE are violations of your freaking guidelines. What is wrong with you? Do you want people to stop using Yahoo? At this point, Yahoo is the biggest joke on the internet. I do believe I'm being targeted by your braindead employees.

Be fair with your comment reviews, yahoo. How can it be okay to say "remember, white people, that you started racism" and then you reject "remember, non-white people, that your own ancestors sold you into slavery. This is a fact. Simply a fact.

I am recording all my comments you say fall outside your policy and sending them to my representative as a record of your banning certain political speech. I hope this will be seen as Yahoo editing and you lose your 230 protections. I urge all Yahoo users to do this.

No wonder this clown isn't missed on TV anymore. Even the leader who wants to stamp out journalists thought he was a pushover and kind of pathetic. Sad to think people actually believe what he says and believes. Why was this removed. Its not swearing or inciting hate. This is foolish to be removed.
