Unable to post Comments in the MSN News Section

Two other people have asked the question as to why their Comments in the News Section of MSN do not post, they just remain in the Comment box.  I'm having the same problem and it started about 4 or 5 days ago.  Before that I was able to post comments.  I see 2 other people are complaining about the same issue.  I'm on a MAC and using Safari (which has not been a problem in the past).  Is it possible that MSN has put a BLOCK on our accounts denying us the ability to comment? Is it possible that MSN has put a BLOCK on our accounts to stop our ability to post? If that's the case we should be notified.

It appears that, evidently, MSN has no reason (idea) as to why this is happening and no resolution.

    for some strange reason, I can now post again though I can never see replies unless I want to waste my time scrolling through thousands of comments.  I don't and won't.  So, I no longer get my news from MSN and removed it as my home page.  If enough of us did that maybe Microsoft would get it's act together.

    Ok makes sense - let me ask a question - when I go directly into Facebook and comment on items that appear in my "community" it posts and there are responses so am I shadow blocked by MSN then?

    yep

    same here

    I created another facebook account with the exact same security settings & I can post to stories on MSN whenever I want

    one thing I did notice is that my real facebook account does not show my facebook info when I hover over my name (normally it will show a link to your facebook account when you do this to a users account) but it does show my info for the additional facebook account

    a term for this is "shadow blocking" so some unknown person(s) might have reported you & I to either Facebook or MSN for hurting their feelings with a comment you or I posted - but this is like being placed on the terrorist watch list as no one will admit that you or I have been placed on the "not allowed to comment list"

    so much for a community where people can share opinions (especially on MSN)

    I still test it every now & then but it has been like this for almost 2 years - so MSN...

    I guess if the posts do not fit your agenda then they are slowly weeding out all of those users

    of course MSN or facebook will never admit to that being part of the agenda biased news sites
