Yahoo! FFL Transfer, Black Mountain Tactical LLC

Black mountain Tactical llc in Bonners Ferry Idaho took deliver of a handgun that they were to send to Nampa Id. This was a private party Transfer.

Paid the seller thru this company. They were to hold the money until I received the firearm.

Over a month later I am still waiting. The have kept the money and the gun.

Complaint have gone unanswered, BBB, Consumer Affairs both state and Federal.

I have a text from the owner? saying gun will be shipped out over night. Another lie. This was 2 weeks ago. Now the text number, business number an email go unanswered.

Local PD says this is a Civil matter? How can theft of $500 and a handgun with msrp of $1100 not be a criminal matter.

Desired outcome: Replace the Kimber k6s. The one I bought was almost new and was sold to me at just under the trade in value. If they have lost the one I was buying replace it with a new one of the same model.

Yahoo! Censoring

My comment on "Russian Troops killed while deploying devastating rockets in Valentines day massacre" was rejected. Response was Maybe Joe Biden should have been a little more specific in his definition of a "slight incursion" when he told Putin it would probably not be a big deal if he went into Ukraine. While I was not quoting and did not use the EXACT words, the meaning and intent are exactly the same as what he actually said which is "I think that what you are gong to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades.And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do".What I said was NOT misinformation. Using the words "minor incursion" needs to be clarified as apparently Putin took it as a green light as did a whole lot of the rest of the world. Seems like Yahoo is more interested in censoring Conservatives saying anything about Biden, even if it is the truth.

Yahoo! Yahoo censoring and rejection of reply to a comment that was abusive to me and I couldn't defend myself

I made a comment for an article and it was published. I received a reply that was abusive to me and made a false assumption. After I replied citing the source that I used, IntelliNews, previously known as Business News Europe, a business media company focusing on emerging markets, my reply was rejected and I couldn't post more, because they rejected it 3 times. They allowed the person to abuse me based on the business website copy/paste text. But I couldn't defend myself.

Desired outcome: the post to be printed

Yahoo! Yahoo's unjustified rejection of completely respectful conversation board comment.

I've substituted ABC, XYZ, LMN, GHI and P+Q to protect actual identities. ABC's P+Q Pilot Plant operation is dependent on having adequate supply of a product from 3rd party & lab-quality GHI sourced from XYZ’s GHI Mfg. Plant. Each Plant can operate separately & independently with (i) gas for XYG's GHI Pilot Plant, (ii) GHI and a 3rd party-supplied element for LMN's GHI (P+Qi) Pilot Plant. LMN's Pilot P+Qi GHI Pilot Plant must first produce supply of GHI required for targeted P+Qi production from LMN's Pilot P+Qi Plant. How on Earth could this comment violate Yahoo's or anyone else's policies?

Desired outcome: A Rejection Appeal process by which the complainant can receive a reasonably sufficient explanation of the rationale for the rejection and educates the complainant enough to avoid future such rejections.

Yahoo! Stop Censoring Me!

EVEN THIS PoS Complaint registration form is telling me:

Your subject contains too much CAPS letters. Please use standard letter case when filling subject or click here for convert.

Seriously? What a joke.

EVERY DAMN TIME I try to make a post or respond to a comment, it's almost like you block me on purpose.

My responses DO NOT have vulgar language in them.

They DO NOT have Hidden Me$$ages.

Majority of the time, I quote YOUR OWN DAMN POST and you STILL BLOCK ME.

This pisses me off to the Nth degree. I feel like you're singling me out and shutting me down and stepping on my ability to voice my opinion when much of the opposing side (liberal - go figure) can say any damn thing they want!

Why am I cursing now? Because I'm sick and tired of your one sided [censored]

IF I could SUE you for this, I would call a lawyer RIGHT NOW!

You Make me SO Fing MAD!

I'm going to cancel everything yahoo and never visit this BS site again!

Desired outcome: Burn in hell! You shouldn't get a free pass as you're doing this deliberately. Hope your entire company goes bankrupt and your CEO canceled forever - just like you attempt to do to everyone else through your "news" site.

Yahoo! Yahoo mail plus

I've been a Yahoo user for more than 20 years and while they are not the best(in my opinion - I use others that are better) they serve a basic need.

When I received an offer to try Yahoo Mail Plus I thought it may be better.

Like all bait and switch offers I had to give my credit card number for billing to commence after the trial.

I could see no benefit, to me, of the "plus" service so I ended the trial.

Of course like so many scams these day my card was billed and continues to be billed despite repeated efforts to get a refund.

Gone are the old days a when a "Customer Service" number was available to correct such issues.

Yahoo takes the "scam" further by requiring sign-up to a "customer service" site (at a fee of course) to resolve the issue.

These tactics give the whole industry a bad rap.

Include in the Yahoo site are AVAST, McAfee and other software sites that use similar methods to increase their revunes.

BUT they are despoiling their "good" names and reputations.

Happy customers tell three others but unhappy ones tell NINE!

Desired outcome: refund now and stop billing me!

Yahoo! waterproof boots from a company called Vatinoleon

I saw these boots advertised on your site and ordered a pair of UK size 6 for £61.99. When they arrived they are a size 9. I have tried emailing the company 4 times saying I like the boots but need the correct size. I have heard nothing from them. I have checked their website which goes under the name of both BuyinUK plus Vatinoleon. There are numerous similar complaints and it looks like a scam. Do you vet these companies before you accept their ads ? Where does that leave me now ? I am NOT prepared to lose all this money. Will look forward to your response. Many thanks.

Desired outcome: Either correct size boots or full refund.

Yahoo! News item: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/now-illegal-partner-10-things-000100512.html

In a world full of 'unconscious bias' training - I am STUNNED Yahoo could present a news article about '10 things that are now against the law in a relationship' and then head the article up with an image of what is clearly a man (the 'aggressor') victimising a woman (the 'victim').

Are any or all of the 10 new things being made illegal (by Yahoo's clear implication) crimes exclusively carried out by men against women?

Is that what Yahoo believe?

If that is the case - that is monstrously irresponsible (and reprehensible) journalism of the worst possible calibre.

Screen shot taken in the event of being ignored by the complaints process.

Look forward your response.

Richard Francis

Desired outcome: Removal of this appallingly biased imagery.

Yahoo! Constant yahoo censorship

Someone please tell me how this violates any guidelines where it needs a review. Nothing written was factually incorrect but more and more this happens and IF it gets approved it will be over 12 hours later. I have posted comments only to have stuck in approval or worse rejected immediately when nothing written violates their guidelines. They have been censoring comments that go against the mainstream narratives especially if you write facts that disprove their claims. I'm getting really tired of seeing this occur while other post the exact same wording but because it's left leaning its allowed..

Desired outcome: Yahoo needs to stop censoring...period

Yahoo! Yahoo comment

I comment on Yahoo occasionally. When reading the comment section, I will like or dislike a comment depending on my views of the comment. I commonly see the like or dislike removed after clicking and reverting back to the previous number. After it does, I am able to click it again and the number substracts. Such as if the original number is 0, it will briefly go to 1, then back to 0. If I click again removing the like or dislike, the number becomes -1. Censoring the like and dislike is a way to support one position or another by the company.

Desired outcome: Stop censoring likes and dislikes.

Yahoo! Yahoo.com home screen

Yahoo has been posting an ever increasing amount postings about female celebrities and others regarding nudity, skimpy clothing, body issues, see though clothing, micro-mini skirt, etc. Who is writing these articles? 20 year old horny boys? Yahoo had more class once upon a time. Now it is a peep show. Shame on Yahoo for objectifying women and exploiting them. Women have enogh issues with this in the real worls. We do not nrrd your company to add to the problem by attracting by soliciting to a horny male audience. Your site has become a disgrace.

There is no options to delete sections of the home screen. I have tried to do this and nothing works. In fact, more of what I was trying not to see appeared.

Rethink the impact of your postings. It stirs young men and teaches them to not respect women. "If it is on the internet, it must be ok: Shame on you, again.

Desired outcome: Stop objectifying women by stopping the posting of anything related to female nudity, skimpy clothing, etc. You are hurting women with these posts.

Yahoo! Yahoo commenting board on article

I was posting a lot of comments and some pictures on one article, and I think two of the pictures that I selected from Yahoo's picture list got rejected by Yahoo. Why is Yahoo rejecting the pictures I selected from their list? These pictures are theirs! These pictures looked fine! Nothing offensive nor graphic about them. All of a sudden, I couldn't post anymore, and I got this message:

"Unfortunately, you are unable to take part in this conversation right now as your comments have been blocked too many times."

What's going on? Why is Yahoo censoring me? "Blocked too many times"? You mean rejecting? You only rejected my pictures about only two times! That's not "too many times"!

Desired outcome: Yahoo, stop blocking me from commenting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop censoring me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yahoo! comments

I want to know why this comment was rejected. It was posted around 930 am on 9/13/22. It was rejected. I revised anything I could see as possibly abusive and still was rejected. If I knew why, I could avoid the mistake in the future. It is impossible to comment on lies without calling them lies.

Oh, yes... that pesky deep state. I ask you, if there was a "deep state," exactly what would their job be? Every nefarious deed is taking place right before your very eyes, with your approval! Trump called on Russia to cyberattack an American citizen; You said, "that's my man!" Trump handed himself and cronies trillions of dollars with no strings attached; You said, "that's my man!" Trump told provable lie after lie about Covid; You said, "that's my man!" He gassed his citizens for a photo op; He brought the terrorists from the Taliban to Camp David and surrendered to them; He coerced the weak-minded into attacking their own country in order to install himself as dictator; He is on tape trying to "find enough votes" to steal an election and countless other high crimes and misdemeanors and what did you say? Yep. You said, "that's my man!" YOU are the deep state.

Yahoo! Important and urgent emails being deleted from my inbox by yahoo.

I was for some while been a subscriber to SKY and some years ago, SKY appear to have moved their email services to Yahoo.

I was assured and continue to be assured by SKY that my email account was secure. , and as long as my email account is not left unattended for more than 12 months, there is nothing to worry about.

Of the last month or so, I have received some emails saying my account was going to be deleted, which looked like Spam or Spoofing. I relayed some of these email to Sky support and they have said, I can ignore the emails because they are fake.

I have now found urgent and important emails at a critical time are being deleted or hidden by Yahoo.

I am unable to contact anyone from Yahoo Customer Support.

A number of legal matter at this time has to come through the emails, I am at my with end and don't know where to turn; how and where to lodge an official complaint and get Yahoo to at the very least stop the deletion of my emails.

Desired outcome: I would like Yahoo them to allow unhindered use the account, return of all the missing emails and an explanation as to why they would set about deleting private emails from the account without any regard to the consequences.
