Banned from Microsoft Community (commenting on an MSN article)

* Locked.

I was reading an article from Microsoft Edge and noticed in the comment section that I was "banned from making comments" for violating the community standards. I thought, "well that's interesting, I have never made a comment before." I even checked the comment history in my profile and confirmed that I had never commented on anything. Perhaps I got banned for thinking something. Has anyone else encountered this?

Hello,

Unfortunately the community you are referring to (MSN Community) is separate from this community (Microsoft Community - answers.microsoft.com).

The Microsoft News Community supports diverse, authentic conversations and content about issues and events that matter.

Trusted Community Engagement and Contributions | Profile (msn.com)

In this link you can find their guidelines and principles.

Microsoft Community has no influence on permissions, moderation, banning or comment deletion in MSN Community.

Thanks,

    Microsoft Start censorship is totally random. I am banned without notice or warning, but I read stuff by others that makes me look like a tea party. I would rather they don't have any commenting if they can't handle it in a fair manner.

    Actually what I am referring to is the MICROSOFT NEWS COMMUNITY (taken directly from the page). I access it through the MICROSOFT START page which apparently came with my Microsoft desktop account. As far as I know I have never commented anything and certainly not with anything offensive. Honestly, I don't care if I am banned as the COMMENTS section of most articles are for entertainment purposes only. I just thought it strange I would be banned when I haven't done anything. Perhaps Microsoft knows what we are thinking...
