No longer able to rate comments on yahoo news

[Castout]

That and no longer able to reply to any comment on yahoo news and not able to stream video links from yahoo news.

Those news bring me to Hong Kong based server while yahoo homepage is still US based.

I consider this unacceptable censorship.

The irony is when I write to yahoo customer service, they are based in Singapore, a country which controls all media and censors them and stifle dissents.

I still receive thumbs up feedback through mail so I know some people able to rate the comments.

**** this. I opened www.theaustralian.com.au (http://www.theaustralian.com.au)

and received the following message

Note: xxx has determined that this webserver is in Indonesia, however the address ends in .au(Australia). Servers need not located in origin country and this is likely not an error.


:damn:

My guess? My government is employing China like Internet filter. Maybe Hmm I hope not.

Ah look the stupid replied. Oh Hi stupid. How's your regression lately? Much?

Go troll somewhere else if you can't contribute anything.

OK, if I write about evil government, cencorship and say poor you on the top of that, will you be my friend?

For what it's worth, I have no such technical problems.

Just find a corner and stay put. Grow beard or moss. If it is hard to grow moss in Finland you need to try harder. You are not worth my time. . . at all. So don't bother next time.

no rated comments = less trolling
can't be that bad

you know, I'm capitalizing off this
i have started my own web hosting company:
http://curiosityhosting.info/

we have servers located in Sweden, the Netherlands, and even Albania
the majority of our customers come from heavily censured places, where they are tired of the government seizing their servers

Oh I'm an expert to deal with childish behavior. That's why I did what I did.

[Oberon]

And nothing of value was lost that day.

[magicstix]

Wait a second, people actually read yahoo news? D:

[Castout]

Wait a second, people actually read yahoo news? D:

Not actually. I just want comment on them or write a reply to comments and give thumbs up and thumbs down and receive back :DL

Now I can't do that and not even able to stream yahoo linked videos. So there goes my gossip clips.

[Hottentot]

Oh I'm an expert to deal with childish behavior. That's why I did what I did.

Yes.

Making a thread about how you are being cencored, because Yahoo doesn't work for you...
Blaming your country for it...
Acknowledging that no other people have the problem and still blaming government for it...
When not receiving a reply, posting the same again to bumb the thread up... (which sparked my initial reaction, by the way.)
And randomly ignoring people...

...Sounds all really mature behavior to me. And that's just in this thread.

[Castout]

Hmm now it seems the video links are working.

My guess is yahoo is now using localized servers based in Singapore, Hong Kong and my own country.

Still no longer able to rate US based news and unable to read replies and unable to reply to those comments when they are accessed through these local servers.

At least the vids are now working(streaming) through these localized servers.

Of course that is not trolling, I'm not half witted mad man :O:

In the past subsim had better news posted now it's only Vendor and the debate has gone downhill in terms of quality.

I get my news faster through yahoo :O:

[Growler]

Bye bye Growler.

Que lastima!

Oh well. More pi for me.

[Sailor Steve]

More pi for me.
Free point who what why when where. :D
