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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Hi to everyone who has been following the 5 month saga of my trying to get un-blocked.
Today, as every day, I went to put in my usual request for a "review" only to find I am now able to comment again! What a surprise to say the least. I now have to use Joan Calder, instead of my usual Jo Calder, and no photo is showing - guess I can do that if I want, but not that important.
So, folks, must be on my best behaviour now :)
@ Mr Audi
Thank you for your good wishes.
Like you, I still read the articles and the responses, and have to admit there are some issues I really would want to reply to, given what some people are still actually allowed to say, yet we are not allowed to comment.
I totally understand you moving on - sometimes it feels like you are indeed talking to the proverbial brick wall. There is still a part of me a bit "bloody - minded"!! Seems there is someone at MSN who doesn't like a lot of things - including a person's real name etc, what someone feels they need to say (what happened to free speech, as long as it is not totally offensive, using swear words and so forth) and actually practising common sense.
Who knows, maybe there will be a "miracle", and we may all get a real response!! Hope springs eternal, as the saying goes.
@ Ry Da
Totally agree with you - where are these mythical "moderators" who just need to take one minute to actually explain why this has been going on for so long, why, every day we get the same uselesss, boring reply, and why we have made such "severe" mistakes in the first place! Part of me thinks they actually do not have a valid reason at all, and rather than admit we have not actually done anything wrong (how on earth can somebody's real name, or their profile picture - mine again is actually me in it!) not meet "guidelines"? Pathetic, ridiculous, and does not make Microsoft out to be a serious organization. It is beyond unbelievable!!!
I have finally moved on. I still read all the crazy MAGA comments from people. I got banned for pushing back on that garbage. Guess somebody at MSN didn't like what I had to say. Voted all blue. Good luck everybody getting unbanned.
Today's update!
Not only does my real name not meet community guidelines, but today my profile picture now does not meet community guidelines.
Wonder what the next "excuse" will be. YAWN.
