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.

It’s very frustrating to read an article (usually part of a sequence of articles on one topic), want to comment, and click on the “View Comments” link, only to have it go poof and be replaced with the boilerplate line “Terms of Service…”. Either allow comments or remove the link altogether.

Why is it that my comments fail to publish and I come here to write about it and it won't let me post here either. You wonder why people get fed up and take matters into their own hands it is because of people like you that keep jerking them around and playing games with them.

Yahoo has changed and continues to change. I used to love engaging in dialogue and commenting after reading Yahoo's various news articles. It was fun to make fun of the obvious trolls from Prygozhin's Агентство интернет-исследований and his other trolling companies.
Then Yahoo became severe in censoring whatever I said. Anything. When I commented "Birds of a feather flock together" in relation to some of Trump's sycophants, the comment was automatically censored and dropped out. Since then, I've lost interest in Yahoo news. My interests have moved on to other sources of news that use different algorithms, As a result, my experience has become more interesting, robust, and balanced. -

For days now my comments fail to publish. Why? I am not a democrat or republican shill. For real it is time to end the Internet by ending the tax write off for advertising.

Eliminate **** and post actual unbiased news. One other suggestion please proof at least the headlines.

Please explain why I am unable to read or even add my own comment to any news article? How long is this going to continue? How is it that some folks may comment and others cannot? I cannot even read the comments...something is wrong here.

You can stop blocking my comments on news articles. Regardless of whether I comment positively or negatively to Democrat or Republican biased articles, Yahoo ALWAYS 'fails to publish' my comments. I don't write inflammatory comments, not anywhere near what I've seen written. Lose your bias and allow ALL comments, whether they fit Yahoo's narrative or don't. OR quit allowing comments at all. You are not doing our country any favors by this baloney.

Is that why I had a comment that only contained one word, "EXACTLY!" rejected? It has become quite obvious that your standards for allowing and rejecting of comments are a lot more than "left-leaning," they are all the way Left.
I can't even venture a guess as to how many times I commented only to go back to that comment the next day and I get the message to "Be the First to Comment." -

Here is your example.
Article: Stegosaurus skeleton, nicknamed 'Apex,' sells for record $44.6M at Sotheby's auction
Attempted Comment: "test"
Result: Your comment failed to publish. Retry
What does it take to get this fixed? A bribe?

Still failing to publish the next day? I seriously hope that Putin gives North Korea the capability to hit the San Francisco are including Silicon Valley with nukes. Maybe the other AI losers will get the message.

Update to Windows 11 and now back to failed to publish garbage again. The comment was about ways to fix rising insurance rates for cars? What is up with getting emails saying my comments were rejected and the comments not showing up so I can see which ones under my list of comments? More nerd garbage pulling their ****.

be fair when people post, for one person same word is appropriate and for another its not?

jeff Martin commented
So a person can reply to my post and use the word propaganda but when I want to use the word propaganda it becomes inappropriate? I is clear who pockets you are in.

Allow comments from both sides (those who like Trump and those who like Biden) without rejecting the comments that you don't like. You always reject comments against Biden, but the comments against Trump you allow. UNFAIR!!!

clearly, yahoo has either an incredibly inept IT department, or they're practicing discriminatory censorship. Since there is no way to contact them without paying for the privilege, there appears no way to get an answer to the questions regarding the problem. Perhaps if everyone who encounters this problem, posts on the forum, we can finally get their attention?

Old Dude commented
I've sent in many examples of my account being blocked from posting a comment, why can't I get a response from support, or are you trying to force me to pay for support?

Stop suppressing conservative voices. It is amazing what you allow from the left and then reject comments based on facts from the right. Saying that 11 million illegals have been let in is a fact. Millions of MS 13 gang members in the US is a fact. MS gang members are murderers, drug and human traffickers. All fact, yet you reject those comments. I don't think you can call yourself news. You are Democratic operatives.

Unblock me and let me know if what I do is why out of the blue I get blocked. If it isn't me then correct whatever it is. Thank you.
