Why are MSN comments so overly censored?

Literally cannot even use words like "you" and "put" it is beyond stupid. Comments aren't even remotely offensive. Fix the filters or just disable comments. It is infuriating

    I feel exactly the same about this MAJOR issue.

    MSN comment threads are a total joke. Completely unfit for purpose.

    The pathetic algorithm simply does not work.

    Today I have been forbidden to post a number of words on comment threads. I knew exactly which words I wasn't allowed to use in those instances by using a process of elimination and deleting certain words before trying again.

    Here are some words which MSN would not allow me to use:

    "You"

    "Your"
    "You're"

    "You" - with a question mark after it.

    "Digging"

    The phrase: "May I ask?"
    "puzzled"
    "hard"
    "difficult"
    "wife"

    "discontinued"

    I mean, SERIOUSLY? ALL of these words were disallowed and ALL of those words were used in a polite manner in context with conversations.
    We can't even have a conversation with any other community members to ask one another questions because this stupid system does not permit using the word "you" followed by a question mark 90% of the time.

    What is the point in offering a community interactive comment section to the MSN community when we can't even engage with one another?

    And yes, Laurie is right. The links you provided to contact MSN are invalid and only send us back to the main page. Everything is just a total farce with MSN.

    I await your reply to this.

    Thanks.

    I don't mean to be negative but I genuinely believe you (and everyone else, including me) are wasting your time here.

    I have sent so many complaints to MSN and have never heard any feedback once.

    They are utterly useless.

    The really stupid thing is that you can't even use words that are in the articles but they are published without a problem?

    Of course. It's SO much more than that. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

    I'm now subjected to typing the word 'ewe', or even 'thee', instead of the word 'you', because it won't allow me to use correct spellings.

    It's pathetic, utterly tragic.

    Oh, I know. There's been many a time I have tried to quote a headline in a comment and it won't allow me to.

    It really is pathetic.
