"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.

    msn guidelines is a complete disgrace. there was an article that was about smoking too much weed, one person stated he would rather smoke too much weed than smoke cigs..drink or eat too much. i replied with...smoking weed makes u eat too much,they said it was against their guidelines. **** is going on in todays world that having to censor people is the norm. and u cant even get ahold of them so theres no reproach... <removed>

    I've read comments that included sexual innuendos, were simply degrading and comments that were out and out lies, yet my seemingly neutral comments are deemed inappropriate and aren't posted. There was an article about Kim Kardashian and some of the comments left about her were sexually suggestive, degrading yet ALL that I say is that I think Khloe looks a little different than her sisters and it apparently didn't meet their guidelines and wasn't posted. Sometimes I will make reply to a seriously critical comment that someone else made but what I said doesn't meet their guidelines and I am just like "what"?! There's got to be a resolution to this. It's not fair .

    Why are some comments flagged as being "not following guidelines" despite being innocuous but comments that are clearly dangerous, threatening and more often than not, racially discriminatory allowed. I have seen comments where people have been threatened and others that have been very discriminatory to others. Why do you follow your guidelines with impunity when they are clearly offensive or dangerous but with an iron hand when they are harmless?

    1. Regarding "your guidelines"

    Sorry, you aren't communicating with MSN here.

    1. Moderation of comments is being done by AI, by a bot. This might explain some of the inconsistency.
    2. You should report posts that you consider unacceptable and request a review if any of your posts are blocked.
