Hello

I have recently been blocked from commenting on MSN platform for all articles. This as the subject says due to my user name which is RyDa and have no idea how or why it would breach their guidelines.

I have asked for a review which has been successful and "would be back commenting soon" as they said but it has already been 2-3 days.

Thanks.

    @ Ry Da - Many thanks indeed for your reply. I actually had a response from Microsoft to say they had no problem with my using my real name ( guess that is good to know!)- but they have no communication with MSN who is STILL blocking me!! Again, today, I have just had the trite response from MSN that the decision has been reversed and I "should be able to reply again soon". How long is a piece of thread!! It is a bit annoying as I don't want other contributors to think I have just not bothered replying to them!! I have also noticed that in the past few days MSN have "closed" certain discussions which, shall I say, seem to be more "politically" involved - especially the on-going war in Ukraine and now the "agitations" of China towards Taiwan. Why bother giving people a chance to air their views if those views do not meet the "views" of the company setting up the site? Ah well! Back to FaceBook perhaps!!!

    Still nothing from anybody at Microsoft. What an absolutely terrible company.

    @ Nunya Bizness - good point. I'm blocked because my username - which happens to actually be my REAL name suddenly did not "meet guidelines" on 20th July, despite my using my real name from the start, on all on-line uses. Weird. Surely Jo Calder is not offensive!!!

    @ RyDa - join the club!! I was suddenly banned on 20th of July after being told my username - which actually happens to be my REAL name - did not "meet guidelines?? I have used it from the start, also on Facebook etc. How can anyone's own name be offensive I would love to know. On 21st July I was told that the decision was reversed in my favour - still waiting for the block to be lifted. Naturally it is impossible to actually contact MSN.
