"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.

    Sometimes I don't even get a 'Something went wrong' message. I hit enter and literally nothing happens. It's not until I change a word that I get one of the messages that tells me it's not been posted. They must have half the words in the dictionary banned by now.

    It can be true for those politically leaning left or right, any word can be a trigger for the bots, such as some word the person who programmed didn't understand due to cultural differences so seen as could be "offensive".

    Agree 100% I have given up with MSN I have cut and pasted my replies on posts that "went against community standards" Or "something went wrong" they are so tame, polite and inoffensive most people can not believe any decent, average, intelligent person would not laugh at, whilst some mange to post the most horrible rude and offensive comments, is certainly a dilemma.

    I have trialed different words to see what's banned and yes certain words trigger the bots. it's all being done by bots now the only humans involved were the ones coding the bots. And yes one word can be a forbidden post.
