Yahoo Comments?

Why are Yahoo comments suspended? Is it temporary or permanent? How else are we supposed to express our crass and uninformed opinions on topics we know nothing about?

    Commenting has been removed. They say it is temporary, but it sounds like changes may be coming based on what kind of user feedback they get. Yahoo's announcement on this can be found at the bottom of every article posted:

    Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback to help us enhance the experience.

    The Majority of comments are always against Yahoo's liberal narrative, that's why it's gone.

    i am assumeing it might be a bug, because the whole reason we could comment in the first place was to get better clerification of the answers meaning if we were confused.

    i don't think YA would deliberatly bully the disabled in two ways

    1} by allowing people to claim their questions and answers are chat because they have issuse with comunication and speech

    2} by forceing them to break the tos by asking the same question many times so they can fully understand the answer

    that would be a lawsuit waiting to happen
