hi all,
Why is there so much racist and hatefull comment on Yahoo News - Message Boards? And why doesn't yahoo do something about it. I mean if people from out side of US read it, they are going to think that Americans are highly racist people. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

You must realize that moderating a large message board can be a Herculean task.Not only Yahoo, but many other message boards around the world are full of stuff like this. Back in February, BBC was flooded with so many abusive messages , it had to temporarily close down a part of its message board. It is practically not possible to moderate each and every message on such huge boards and forums. One can find "offensive" language all over the net. It does not make sense to lose sleep over it. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Thats the impression I got at first, so you're right, a lot of people probably do think that. Personally I think they should just shut them down if they can't moderate them. They don't do anything if you report someone either. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I have no idea why yahoo keeps those things active. Pointless server use, if you ask me. Yahoo message boards (and yahoo answers) are the sum total of human stupidity 99.5% of the time. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

Beginning with its attitude limiting YPN to USA publishers they are shouting out its racism.However Yahoo is like Google, racist agains non-American, but with no inconvenient on taking worldwide people's money out.
Google is only "racist" in the terms of take money from Adult/Gambling advertisers, but hating publishers that do so -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Wht makes you think it's just yahoo. Most messgae boards have similar things on them it's called freedom of speech and there is only so much they can censor of what the public says. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
