In Microsoft Start, how can I be banned for violating guidelines if I've never commented?

I logged in for the first time ever to comment on an article in Microsoft Start. I got a message that I had violated community guidelines. If I've never once tried to comment on anything Microsoft, how can this be? There was no explanation of where this came from.

    I did that as well, trying to comment for the first time ever, and it stated I was blocked for commenting (that I violated their guidelines) when I have no history or log of comments that would do such.

    I had the same experience just now. I've never posted anything and went to make 1st post ever and now i'm banned before even making any post. Come on Microsoft....don't be the company everyone wants to avoid at all costs.
