Why are MSN comments so overly censored?

Hello jakobee,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

You can visit Microsoft Services Agreement and Community Guidelines to confirm the requirements for comments in MSN.

If you think it's too strict, you can click on "Settings and Other" -- "Help and Feedback" -- "Send Feedback" on the top right corner of the Edge browser to give your feedback.

Best regards,

Mitchell,

We'll see if this message reaches you and I'll get notified when a reply is posted. I used to be able to send in a support email or do a chat with Microsoft, but for some reason, it keeps taking me back to the same page to contact support and keeps giving me the runaround. I'm trying to find an email or message box that will go directly to Microsoft about issues I see on MSN.com daily and maybe seeing if they need help proof reading as to not send their articles out before publishing them for the whole world to see with errors on the page. Hopefully you or someone can assist with my question. Thanks.

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.

It's not really just about that. I see so many mis-spellings that it just drives me nuts and it's happening more and more lately.

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.
