Initially it said two things; "You have been banned due to your name" and "You have been banned due to violations of guidelines". I have read through the guidelines and an find nowhere a sufficient reason for my commenting suspension. And since my work is directly tied to my ability to navigate the comment section of media's social interactions I have to assume the reason is not good enough, otherwise I would have received an answer from someone, anyone really. Every MSN agent I have spoken with does not see my account in bad standing. So my conclusion is that a 3rd party who does not have access to my account but rather just the ability to remove my ability to comment on news articles is the final judge.
I have cancelled my subscriptions to Microsoft and all of it's products and may be planning legal action as to simply find out one thing... why.
Just a simple answer in detail as to what about my posts were in any way "wrong".
I have been working on research for nearly 8 year as to how the social aspect of the internet changes people, and now I have a new chapter. The unfettered power some get by playing "god" over someone else's work.
I genuinely would love for someone to have the fortitude to not hide behind anonymity in some dark corner and give a detailed explanation with examples of my "Crime". Because all of the comments I have made and read and reread do not violate any of the mentioned guidelines...
But now my work is directly affected without sufficient reason.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You are so very right. Our opinions have been taken away if they do not agreed with them because of their bias guildlines.
It has become the norm. I have read comment that are disgusting and use fowl lanuage but they are allowed,
I have had it with MSN and have closed my account witt miscroft. This country has become one sided and we are paying the price. We need to join to fight harder again this!!!!
The media and the far left are getting by with this.
So I saw an article that I wanted to comment on for the first time. I logged in through Microsoft and was immediately banned for " You've been banned due to violations of our guidelines.".
The thing is I have never commented before. I even double checked in the my comments section and it says "you haven't posted anything yet".
Is this Microsoft's version of pre-crime?
Seems your question like so many others on this subject has no answer, the Microsoft dictatorship cannot or will not discuss the problem. It may be a software glitch or human intervention but it seems the gods do not even wish to acknowledge that a problem exists. Some of the comments that are posted, on that forum, in my opinion actually justify removal, yet the same prejudiced comments appear over and over again, signed by the same authors. My simple answer is if you want to have an opinion find another forum, this one doesn't support free speech and in your case didn't even wait to find what your opinion was.
i just joined and I’ve never commented on anything MSN so I’m confused. I did remove my last name from my account - just because I listen to crime podcasts lol.
MSN must not see how much money I spend on their products, which I will stop immediately due to this unjustified censure.
I’m waiting on response to my REVIEW (eyes rolling).
Same just happened to me, very strange.
