In todays world Artificial Intelligence supposedly made work easier for Yahoo and Social Medias but in my opinion has caused hate to increase instead of decreasing. It seems people can write as much fake news as they want and it's OK but to write the truth you are tagged as hate, against policy and a list of everything else but pea soup!
For instance I can only guess my statement I will attach was something against Yahoo Policy. Was it a simple fact that Putin is a "monster" for what he has done to the children of Ukraine? I've seen worse in your articles! Was it because I reported a fact from Ukraine reported on video Yahoo won't see till tomorrow? It is a fact a video was released from ASTOV today saying they still had food for seven days. Is that fact the cause for commenting to be "contains content that is in breach of our community guidelines."?
Artificial Intelligence is just that! Artificial! Which can not think or comprehend meaning only rejection! Sadly this is only one of many statements rejected by Yahoo that only angers myself and others when trying to convey a simple truth or fact while so many of their articles have been proven fake news. Where can we reject their fake news articles in all fairness? Too many have ended up being racially divisive which I thought would never have happened! Yahoo has turned the clock back 59 years! For new readership!
I do have one last pet peeve with Yahoo rejections! It seems you can no longer make the same words in an article which has everything to do with the article or lets say what another article is about. Which is the word Nazi! Do you know how many rejections or holds I have had just by making statements on HISTORY? Yes history is against community policy today! You force rewrites of a statement until it looks like someone is writing in code just to make sure AI will finally let a comment through. I tried to warn people about the White Supremacist ploy Putin had been filtering into the Baltics, UK and US but my statements were banned because of WORDS that when said separate is OK but together is hate? Give me a break people! No wonder Putin had won that part of the war because you helped him! Frankly I'm more embarrassed for our children because we can't learn to work together with history, facts and the present!
Desired outcome: I hope this will be left on your board or theirs for others to read the lunacy Yahoo prescribes as fair. The world isn't ready for Artificial Intelligence at that low of scale!
Comically I had attached the rejection which used the word monster when depicting Putin and I also gave an update which will appear in tomorrows news outlets because the US is so slow on facts. What is the News? Per Ukraine Government media which the US finally said was posting facts showed the civilians in Astrov and said they had 7 days of food left which is good because they can stretch it out. But it looks like it was a double rejection probably because it would embarrass Yahoo if shown.
My comment was rejected yet again for saying " Trump Trump Trump Trump 2024". I don't understand how this goes against guidelines?
Yahoo keeps rejecting my comments, like "So you would have been OK with Hitler taking over Europe" replying to a poster who claims that Isolationism works. What gives?
I am also having that issue right now. First I thought maybe a particular person as blocked me from talking to them, so I replied to another person instead, nope, flagged. So then I tried to make a new comment, nope flagged. Also tried simply saying short clean sentences, and only saying "Hi". Nothing i post on that will go through, while i was previously having a conversation with people.
To clarify further I went to OpenWeb an looked through their help section and found that they simply turn it around back on yahoo. Saying to see the yahoo policy on process for escalating community moderation decisions. MY COMPLAINT IS THERE IS NOT ONE.
We need to be able to either get an explanation for blocked comments, (other than see TOS) and a way to dispute the decision. My comments were clean while the other guy is on there name calling everyone that he doesn't agree with.
Add me to the list of comments rejected for no reason.
[I sent my comment to appea] I am a researcher and for the last couple of years, I've presented unbiased, plain facts in Yahoo Comments. Yahoo's Comment Guidelines forbid referring to competitive websites, yet arbitrarily, i.e. on some days and not on others, anything and everything ".gov" is immediately rejected. Reference to government websites incurs rejections even if all I do is post the title of a government case file, the title of an explanation from the Congressional Record or the Federal Register, the plain English title of a government website, and so forth. On other days I can provide useful government information all day long with no problem. Since when is our government competing with Yahoo? Most Americans have no clue about the amount of US government information that is instantly available online. I've attached today's rejection.
Every comment I write is rejected the moment I hit enter, I typed word for word a comment that was published and mine was rejected, I then paraphrased a comment and the same happened. their guidelines for comments are not being enforced as long as the person commenting is violating the rules against those who don't follow the liberal agenda, sad Yahoo is now just a propaganda machine for the liberals. Censorship way out of control
Wrong! I am a left leaning democrat who often posts comments in support of trans rights and BLM, as of three days ago every comment I write is rejected the moment I hit enter. So as much as you might want to be a victim of some vast "liberal media" conspiracy, it just ain't so.
There is a 100% chance you are lying, and an equal chance that the ones who are banning so many accounts is a liberal.
[censored] You! They censored that didn't they?
I quess they didn't censore that...Oh Well tough [censored] for you!
[censored] You for cencoring me after the fact!
The same started happening to me today. I've got 18K+ positive reactions to 3500 or so posts, so I know how to say the right things in the right way. I push back when someone posts something offensive (or report it), but I typically write an informed, researched opinion of the topic at hand. But today Yahoo started rejecting any comment I make. It started when I replied "That's utterly and unequivocally false" to a post which was...well...utterly and unequivocally false! I hadn't tried something rude and edited it after rejection, that was the original wording! Ever since that post, literally everything I post, however benign, is immediately rejected. Too bad there isn't anyone to complain to. I'd surely like to know what it is that they don't like about my participation.
Like so many others here, it seems as though once I had one comment rejected (and while I can't remember what that first rejected comment was, I know it wasn't hateful or threatening in any way), they are now all rejected. Today I did a little test and here are the results... *face palm*
I have tried repeatedly to write about "operation keel haul" as a point of comparison to wartime atrocities but the comments are always reject as possibly offensive.
Whatever Yahoo sucks
Yahoo your article about Amanda burnes something like that was her name . Anyways you all are just so unclassy so disrespectful only one that made a spectacle of themselves is you all. She was most likely HAVEING SIDEEFFECTS from meds she was made to take the same meds that are messing ALOT of people up these days. Them damn ANTIPHSYCOTICS make people do crap they normally wouldn't do especially when they make people go through sudden discontinuation WITHDRAWLS that cause PHSYCOSIS. And there you all are MAKEING fun of her. You all are ignorant and uneducated trash no class at all not one spec of decent human beings you all must have nothing better to do with your lives butt make fun of people. Your articles are so terrible you all should be put in a corner with DUNCE hats on ! That's straight bullying someone man you all suck . You have absolutely no qualifications for WRITEING articles. You find entertainment in putting others down and it's not attractive at all . You uneducated ignorant people . Go to school and learn something cause you all SUCK !
This is why I stopped my commenting all together. I'ts to bad but they don't want people to hear the truth.
I am a bit confused as to why such a benign comment would get rejected. This was amicable and polite. Why are such innocent efforts at polite discourse being rejected?
low IQ moderators
I left this comment that was rejected " I just hope that all the hate speech on both sides can be toned down" Would like to know why
I got rejected for confronting a Russian troll who has figured out how to post thousands of posts on every article about Ukraine. I did it by copying and pasting my comment on every post by the troll in 2 articles. So that was dumb on my part. Now I can’t post that I like to put carrots in a recipe as a comment.
So troll just roll along posting tons of AÍ generated content, but I can’t even opost the most menial or positive comments. Not certain how long that will last.
how can you reject a comment thats true fact i posted "in the 70s i paid thru FHA 13 % INTEREST RATE AND YOU REJECTED THIS WHY want an answer
To test Yahoo "Moderator" censorship, I typed the alphabet letters, "A,B,C,D..." and submitted as comments following an arbitrary Yahoo posted article. Minutes later, I received an email from Yahoo stating that my comments were Rejected and did not follow Community Guidelines!
Is there a list of words to avoid? The last thing I want, is to come across and hateful, or abusive. I simply wish to get my point across, and sometimes spark a healthy debate.
Yahoo is awful. They don't like any opinions that go against their beliefs. I just said "sleepy joe" and my comment got rejected. They are terrible and whoever reads them to see if it is "against their guidelines" is nothing but a bunch of babies who don't know how to take others' opinions.
Your comment was quite childish, but your comment shouldn't have been rejected.
