I changed to a fake name and still get the user name warning.
"The username violates our guidelines"

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

2022-01-30T03:31:15+00:00 I have this problem too. I tried my real name and something else that was not offensive or breaking guidelines in any way that I am aware yet MSN News still says my name violates the terms and conditions. I rarely ever want to comment or be part of discussions on MSN new articles but occasionally would like to have the option to comment.
There is obviously no way to contact MSN directly by design for an explanation or fix (much the same as the problems associated with Gmail and Amazon and their security verifications where they now refuse to let you verify with a landline telephone number and anyone who has set up an account with a landline number is now locked out wit no way to get back into their accounts.
I guess the real reasons are because there is no subscription fee to access the services that there is no duty to fix bugs - if you are affected by them / or locked out of an account you are screwed !!
I no longer use Gmail and Amazon and I will no longer use MSN for news either. Nor will I ever use any 'subscriptions or purchased products from any of these companies where I can avoid it. Poor FREE service support is an indication of POOR Paid for services support. I don't any of them anymore.
