Be more transparent on moderation practices.
More than a week ago a message board comment of mine was rejected which in no way, in my opinion, violated any of Yahoo's message board rules. I am still waiting for a response to my appeal. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Meanwhile all manner of vile, even racist, dreck from others seems to get published with no action taken. Yahoo needs to be more inclusive with its users about moderation, particularly how moderators are monitored for unwarranted rejections and potential bias.

Set mandatory minimums for comment section posts
My complaints with Yahoo's subpar moderation are well documented in the Play Store. But here it is in a nutshell: the more thoughtful, clearly stated and well-written a comment section post is, the more likely it is to be rejected or "held for moderation" in a process that can take hours if it's resolved at all. Meanwhile, poorly written ESL troll trash in clear violation of Yahoo's rules makes its way into publication with no apparent trouble at all. This is especially true at night, on weekends and with hot, breaking news stories about US politics or Ukraine, where Yahoo's…

Stop censoring post from conservatives
I've been called a "MAGAt" by left leaning troll posters on yahoo comments. If I type the word leftard, it is immediately removed by yahoo. The left wing bias on the comment section is absurd.

Stop including slander in top news.
The opinion piece by The Telegraph should not be in today's top news. It is very slanted and slanderous. We are fighting for our democracy, and such misinformation is dangerous. I want a way to block The Telegraph, but I didn't see a way.

Address SEO irregularities
News articles aggregated by Yahoo that are as many as four years old are appearing unusually high in Google search results with timestamps that make the articles appear to be recent:
Here's the latest example I've found after running the search (mail-in voting site:yahoo.com) on Google:
https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/news/newt-gingrich-urged-gop-embrace-144241979.html
This article is from December 2022, yet the timestamp in Google search results is "2 days ago".
The article also has an inappropriate "ca.movies" URL, another persistent problem Yahoo should address.
Strangely, many of these long-expired articles would appear to benefit Republicans. In another recent instance a four-year-old article in which Biden says…

Fix your URLs
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/ap-votecast-takeaways-early-republican-120143675.html
Here's an example from today's report. AP article lays bare Trump's weakness with the broad US electorate and it's given a Canadian URL so American Yahoo users can't comment on it. Removing the CA and refreshing works sometimes but often (like today) goes to an error page. This happens all too frequently; who's responsible for this? It gives the impression that you're hiding news. That's Infotainment.

Stop pushing the liberal America hating agenda
There are many outlets out there that hate America and hide the opposition view, aka the truth. Look up the word integrity and use that as a guide to be different from the rest.

Blocking headlines
It would be great to be able to add words to exclude from headlines to block stories I'm sick of or just block the word 'here' it's annoying . Here's what to know, here's what you need to know, here's what we know, what to know etc! Of course here's what to know it's a news article. Just a headline written as if everyone's an idiot.

Monitor more than one city, for news.
It's critical for me to monitor both a city in WA state and CA. In Google News this is easily done. I haven't found it possible on Yahoo News. Please add!

Set a minimum word or character count for comments
Forcing people to elaborate on their opinions a little would eliminate the two or three-word "troll trash" that's so common on your message boards.
