"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'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.

    Thank you for your comment.

    It's a good way of dealing with awkward remarks.

    I wish that MSN would be more active and let me know what it is that I have said, otherwise how can I change the wording.

    I don't mean anyone any harm or offence.

    I even apologise if I think that I might of overstepped the mark.

    Anyways I won't be using MSN again for some time, if at all in the future.

    Have a good day and keep the jokes coming.

    I can totally understand where you're coming from.

    Fortunately for me, I don't have a website or an agenda.

    I realise that everyone has different views.

    But when someone calls me names and is quite offensive towards me. If I reply to what they say, I get shut down by MSN.

    I have had three jabs so I am a puppet.

    I wear a mask in public which makes me an idiot. I don't give a dam about a party 12 months ago, that as received many forms of abuse.

    I want Brexit to work which makes me part of a cancel culture.

    Yet I am the one being silenced.
