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.”

    Having a conversation on this forum is close to impossible, I wanted to respond to this person...Maybe it's best I just say goby to Msn.Real Eetee ...After slavery"The quest of the Negro male for employment was always
    frustrating. If he lacked skill, he was only occasionally wanted
    because such employment as he could find had little regularity and even less remuneration. If he had a skill, he also had his black skin, and discrimination locked doors against him.
    In the competition for scarce jobs, he was a loser because he
    was born that way.
    His rage and torment were frequently turned inward because if they gained outward expression their consequences
    could be fatal. The Negro father became resigned to hopelessness, and he communicated this to his children. What part of this quoit from Dr. Kings Where do we go from here? does not meet Community guidelines.

    Me as well and it is absolutely ridiculous. No matter what I say or how nice I say it. I get pop up saying this goes against our guidelines.

    My comments are not posted because some magic term is against the "community guidelines". Yet, article headline includes the term. Or there is already a comment with the term. There is no rhyme nor reason to the actions taken. Pointing out errors is flagged. Overall an extremely poor performance by the AI bot baby.

    Yeah, this moderations is seriously broken. I just got off a thread where somebody had posted that politician X was "...a loser with a mouth". So apparently that was OK but my reply of "So all of us humans have mouths, does that make us all losers?" was ban-worthy. MSN, your AI is not yet grown-up enough to make these decisions. Please go back to human moderation until about 2030 or so.

    s on the process for this:
    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.

    1. Neither EliseM_456 nor anyone else here can tell you why a comment was blocked.
    2. Here's part of my canned response on moderation. (4) Moderation is a dysfunctional mess. It's being done via AI, via a bot, not humans and is 

       random and inexplicable.

    1. We refer users to the guidelines because there's nothing better we can do.
