Unjustified Yahoo Rejection of Sandy Springs, US

Verified customer This complaint was posted by a verified customer. Learn more

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.

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.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

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...

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.

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.

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 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.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.

censoring comments

Yahoo blocking any negative comments against Demarcates.

See below.

Your comment on Biden says he will sign bill to codify abortion rights in January if Democrats have majorities in Congress violates the community guidelines and has been rejected

This is so exciting. If the Dems win both house and senate they will make it legal to kill babies. Yahoo will probably censer this.

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 News Comments

Please be more clear of the violation. I mentioned Hillary's campaign manager's name only and it was rejected. He does exist and I said nothing negative about him.

Your comment on Ex-Mueller Investigator's Drinking Declaration Sums Up Possible Trump Second Term violates the community guidelines and has been rejected

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.

Desired outcome: Me learning why this comment was rejected

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.

Account log in / help

Aug 30, 2022 @ approximately 2:00 pm

I couldn't log into one of my accounts on Yahoo, even through I know the pass word. Yahoo wants me to verify who I am... what the F? Because THEY have the wrong ph# than the one I've had for the last 5 years. I can't long in. I know my ph#, I wouldn't put in the wrong number YAHOO! I call them and tell them what's going on. This lady that can barely speak English what's to verify who I am through a ID, but the scanner thing they send me to scan my ID doesn't work. And because of this they have no way to help me they say... WHAT THE F ? This is BS! I told the lady this wasn't Fort Knox we were running over here... its an E-Mail account. They refuse to help me. I will be closing my other account I've since the day of time because of the service they couldn't / wouldn't give me for the other account.

Customer service sucks.

Good luck to whoever chooses to stay.

Offensive and disgusting emails that are being emailed to me daily.

Every day I receive disgusting and deeply offensive emails which I cannot block as there are no email addresses. They all start with offensive swear words such as "f*** and the whole title is offensive and can be read by my young children doing their homework on my laptop.

These words should be automatically blocked from being sent out unsolicited.

Any email with such filth should be automatically blocked by Yahoo.

Desired outcome: Block emails with offensive titles automatically

AI based (or so impressed) comment rejection

I wrote a humorous (by any standard) comment, and was rejected by Yahoo, apparently based solely on terminology.

The article was about WHO considering renaming "Monkeypox" as to not offend anybody.

My comment was as follows :

"Black plague. No.

Yellow fever. No.

Smallpox. No. (bulk discrimination)

Cholera. No. (discrimination against green people)

OK. How about Manpox? No. (sexism)

How about PPAP pox?

Primate Person Ape People pox?

Pikotaro, so precient."

I hope some people remember the global "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen" (PPAP) craze a few years ago by Pikotaro.

I have no idea which word triggered the rejection.

Need clarification on acceptability.

At least admit it is a vocabulary filter, not a true AI program.

Desired outcome: The notice I received from Yahoo was only "rejected" with no reason why.Please tell us what crossed your red line.

News

Constant misleading headlines e.g. World in shock after stars tragic news. More often and not the person is not a star today it was a similar headline and it was about the president of some NFL team. In no way a star. Most often it is about a 5 rate actor who very few have heard of and if it is about a known person the story relates to their 15th cousin 100 times removed getting a splinter in their finger. This happens several times a day.

Desired outcome: More factual advertising
