"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.

    I have been having comments rejected lately for no stated reason. I have said things like the article is inaccurate, worthless, poorly written, or poorly edited. Apparently that is not allowed. Suspect everything is done by a bot.

    It's definitely done by a bot. "Negative" words of all kinds are banned. The word "you" is banned as it might be used to start an accusation. T A very large number of words are banned.

    The words sexism, misogynist, rape and sexual assault are all banned. Does Microsoft want to silence women's issues completely or what. This is disgusting., This is a reason to NEVER use Microsoft Edge or Bing ever again it's grotesque and the only reason I am here is that I got an email about more posts in this thread.

    I wouldn't want angry posts about people's feelings with Ukraine and U.S politics but considering something as present and universal like the internet, there is just an inherent risk that someone may do that. And they do. But I understand that it's only right that private companies can still decide what they want to post. I think that my comment was along the lines of how with gas (at that time), being over $4/gallon and that with milk (still) being over $3 gallon that I felt that Biden <political content removed>
