Banned by OpenWeb Unfortunately I wasn't given the option of giveing OpenWeb/AOL no stars. I've been banned from making comments on AOL by OpenWeb and I have no idea why. There was no notification. Their supposedly purpose is "to bring conversations back from social networks to publisher sites". But it's more like their purpose is to silence those they don't agree with. There's no way to contact OpenWeb and I did call AOL. But, they just said to file this issue on their feedback. I'm sure it went right into the bit bucket.

Avoid OpenWeb if you can *OpenWeb bogs system memory * OpenWeb bogs system performance * OpenWeb makes broadband feel like dial up * On pages where OpenWeb editing is enabled, it usually requires multiple attempts to edit, or, you have to delete the comment and post it as a new one, but deleting the comment usually takes more than 1 attempt If you're considering using OpenWeb on your site, visit a busy site like Fox News and try it out on their top stories, you'll see how horrible it is. OpenWeb may be pervasive, but not sure why, there has to be better performing alternatives.

Company is a Failure There is no rhyme or reason to their censorship. I see terrible posts that attack people in the story and comment on the inaccuracy and I get failed to publish. Yahoo would be best served by getting rid of this company.

Open web silences conservative voices Open web silences conservative voices. You can post facts about Joe Biden. And make statements that you believe he is more of a racist than Trump, and your comments get rejected. The left can put all kinds of baseless allegations about Trump and it is published freely. I need to stay off Yahoo when they use such a deceptive moderator.

They need to rename the company "Closed Web." They need to rename the company "Closed Web." Their latest strategy on Yahoo News is to just reject any comment that triggers any keywords they don't like. Or if we don't name them Closed Web, we could call them Lazy Web, because they don't really do any actual moderation of chat comments. All they do is reject their "trigger words." Lol
