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

    The only other thing I can think of that I did was several days ago I "change" my name. (And it had a recaptcha) Perhaps that did something.

    I think they fixed it! I didn't do anything and when I clicked to add a comment, it came right up with my name!

    I'm a software developer, so I felt it was a bug.

    Thanks for the update.
