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.

    Hi Hinata,

    well that seems like common sense, challenge is Microsoft never responds to the requests/feedback nor takes any action to address the issue. I am in the same situation - never commented on anything yet my account indicates will be blocked for 72 hours. That started over a year ago and still am blocked. Personally, I have sent in numerous requests for assistance/help but radio silence. Please post worthwhile comments that are helpful. Appreciate your gesture but leads to a dead end. But for some reasons.... I am not surprised.

    Considering some folks are being banned and never commented, I doubt anything has to do with political bias. I just think it’s Microsoft having a very poor system on commenting.

    I was banned for no reason whatsoever and I had never left a comment.

    ELABORATE MICROSOFT and stop banning people for no apparent explanation.

    I don't know how this happened, I posted nothing at the time I was accused of posting something. I will be honest here. I feel this is an attempt to suppress our freedom of speech. That is the only thing that I can tell as to why this happened. Otherwise, prove me wrong. When a lot of others are being banned for nothing or the lack of any supporting evidence to ban, this tells me that there is a problem with the application, or this is intentionally done. I have to use MS products to do my work but don't restrict my freedoms.

    Thank you for looking into this.
