"This comment does not meet community guidelines" - so annoying!

Can someone give a detailed explanation of what exactly we can and can't write in the MSN comments? Totally innocuous and inoffensive replies are frequently denied by the automoderation because "This comment does not meet community guidelines", and you are given no clue as to what specifically was wrong. I had to give up replying to one person because no matter what I tried it just wouldn't let me do it.

    No one is saying inappropriate comments shouldn't be censored. The problem is that non-offensive comments are censored with no reason given. The funny thing is most offensive posts can be posted if you put spaces between the letters of the offensive words because the algorithm can't decipher what the words actually are.

    Either Microsoft hasn't taken notice of people's complaints about their 'Community guidelines' or MSN doesn't have much concern about people's comments and complaints about their community guidelines. I tried to post a relatively neutral, casual comment on an article having to do with a celebrity and my comment kept getting shot down. I had to edit it a couple of times before it finally got posted.

    Yes, just completely random words banned from comments. I wonder if it's a consequence of farming the moderation jobs out to <removed>
