Why did I get suspended For an Hour on Co-Pilot

Anonymous

Hi, I got a 1-hour Suspension from Co-Pilot for some reason, I think because I was doing a Story with Co-Pilot and I was trying to continue the story, and it kept denying the continue on Co-Pilot part and I finally was able to continue it by tweaking the phrase too much, and btw I was not trying to do or send anything bad, but it just refused thinking it was bad, then I got it going finally, they a few minutes later. BAM. Suspended for an hour, please explain why Microsoft

I tripped something while asking Copilot some questions about a TTS system and it poisoned the whole conversation so that half the things I would ask, though they were completely innocent, triggered the filter again and again until I got a temporary suspension.

Yes even using pastebin was rejected by the safeglass ai layer in front of the ai, even copilot said my question was safe just not allowed by guardrails?

One trick I use, is to first let copilot know what is going on (prep it), then when you get a rejected prompt again (either tweak it as above post) or just copy and paste the reply (as is) back to copilot. N.B. The original 'offending' prompt goes through regardless of the 'I can't speak about this' (or similar) that is returned. My copilot now says it knows what is going on (after I have copy and pasted the prohibiting message back to it) and acts on the previous (violation false positive) prompt ok.

It seems that your suspension from Co-Pilot may have been triggered by the system's content moderation mechanisms. These systems are designed to prevent the generation of content that could be deemed inappropriate or harmful. When you were attempting to continue your story, the prompts you used might have been interpreted as violating these guidelines, leading to the temporary suspension. It's not uncommon for AI systems to misinterpret user intent, especially if the phrasing is close to terms or topics that are flagged as sensitive or inappropriate.

If you continue to experience issues, consider reviewing the guidelines for acceptable use or reaching out to Microsoft support for further clarification on the suspension and how to avoid it in the future.
