I tried commenting on an article for the first time today. When i went to sign up and agree to the terms a window said in red letters "The username violates our guidelines"...

my username is my first and last name so I don't understand why I'm seeing this. There is no option to dispute on screen https://account.microsoft.com/profile?ocid=msedgntp

    Nobody brought up "QAnon" except you. This is happening to me on Chrome, so it's not "just an Edge issue".

    If you aren't aware, or simply do not believe, the ongoing censorship of conservatives on Youtube/Facebook/Twitter then you are being ignorant. It is happening, it is blatant and they aren't even trying to hide it. This is not a conspiracy, just a fact. Because you aren't dealing with it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

    LOL, the reason you are being censored on facebook / youtube / twitter is because you are pushing conspiracy theories that simply aren't true. The sooner you realize that the happier you'll be and perhaps, just perhaps the country can move forward and once again be the democracy that it was built on.

    As to happening on Chrome, try Firefox ... worked for me.

    You must not understand the principles of what our nation was founded upon and how our country has managed to excel above all until now. Varying messages from all viewpoints of society is the only way our nation can continue to be free and prosper. It should not matter which "side" someone is on. It should only matter there is freedom from ANY structure that attempts to dictate policy that affects the masses of society.

    You feel secure simply because your rights and values are not affected. What if the pendulum swings the other way and you feel as though you are being silenced? ...and the pendulum always swings.

    Same issue. The area in the "add comment dialog" where my user name should be is blank. There is no user name in the Microsoft Account, only email addresses and my actual name.

    It happened to me on Firefox, so I don't think it's an Edge issue either.

    I haven't been able to make any posts either, so I'm pretty sure it's not retaliation for a comment. My real name was my user name; I changed it to something made up and MS still finds it offensive. Just one of the many reasons I'm not a Microsoft fan.
