MSN, Community guidelines and standards being inappropriately applied.

I have been experiencing issues with posting comments on MSN for the past few months. My comments are often flagged as not complying with the community guidelines, despite my efforts to carefully craft them to avoid offending or accusing anyone. My intention is to provide supplemental information and alternative perspectives on topics and reports. I have also noticed that many news stories on MSN contain inaccurate and false information, and comments are often disabled for these stories. This creates a biased environment on the MSN website, as it does not allow for alternative information to be presented. I believe my comments do not violate the community standards and I would like to be able to resume posting comments like the one below, as sometimes presenting facts and refuting poor ideas is necessary.

“To explore the topic, I recommend looking into the double slit experiment and Schrodinger’s cat. Rather than simply providing answers, it is important to seek understanding by researching and contemplating the materials. Asking for answers is not affective, especially with complex topics like this, as human beings tend to have biases that hinder their ability to seek the reality of the situation due to cognitive dissidence. All I've given you some clues on what to research and I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of understanding.”

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/community/guideline
    Please let me kno

    This link is a complete waste of time. <removed>

    This link is as helpful as Encyclopedia Britannica. Yes, the whole <removed> thing. The answer is in there somewhere, go read it.

    Fred Verum included his entire text that got bounced. Did you try it to see what would happen? Did you follow up with questions on his account, like was it reinstated?

    NO!!! You didn't, not that I saw.

    Ms. Elise, you type a nice and courteous reply. Thank you for that much.

    Hi MM.

    It's beyond ridiculous. More often than not those posting comments have to spell 'you' and 'your' - 'ue' and 'eur' or the comment won't get posted. And like I said in an earlier comment - I can't say 'I am gay'. I have been forced to say I am a 'Happy Guy'. And my 'happy guy' comments that are not supportive of the so-called 'LBGTQ+++ community [And they almost never are] are more often than not removed. And any comment that is not fully supportive of Abortion is more often than removed as well. Even simple facts that you could find on a Planned Parenthood site. As for the P word your talking about... I wonder if 'Minor Attracted Persons' would be OK with MSN? smh Probably. Anyway... I appreciate you taking the time to post a comment.

    Commenting on MSN news articles is a frustrating experience.

    Attempting to submit comments and replies often gives me error messages reading "Something went wrong. Please try again." which I think is due to flagged words or phrases triggering the community guidelines filters. (I tested this. The articles and some of the comments I attempted to reply to involved accusations of child abuse. I am not allowed to use the p-word or variants of it which is used to describe an adult lewdly attracted to children. But comments without that word have made it through.)

    If I try to edit them by removing flagged words it's denied and returns the message "This comment was not posted because it's a duplicate" despite rejecting my previous unedited post. (It doesn't show up on the article or my post history.)
