Question

Why do all of my comments get blocked on MSN?

Anonymous

As of YESTERDAY, every one of the comments I try to post says "does not meet guideline." I am not saying anything abusive or controversial but ALL comments are being flagged.

They are blocking everything from a moderate to conservative viewpoint. It emulates their late night political hosts Rachel Madow's viewpoints.

Same here. And @H B no they aren't. They are blocking my leftist comments on trying to stop racist, bigoted remarks on MSN. But I'm sure some conservative got their feelings hurt with common sense and flagged me.

It's everyone I suppose. I deleted all of my thoughts on a subject and only left the legal statute on one post- the law was considered against msn policy. On another, I only quoted the constitution-nothing from myself b/c they wouldn't allow it- citing constitutional rights was also considered against community guidelines, which is why I'm finally changing from msn back to chrome.

I've run into the same thing. I had multiple comments flagged as "hate speech," which is hilarious, because I didn't use a single word that was derogatory or inflammatory. Nor did I call out anyone directly. Yes, I pushed back against the author, but that's the whole point of allowing feedback, isn't? Not agreeing with someone is NOT hate speech. I appealed MSN's decision, but they still rejected my comment with no explanation. Amateur hour if you ask me. Why have a community if you don't support dialogue from all POVs?

Hi,

MSN enforces its community guidelines using an automated moderation system that scans comments for specific words, tone, or patterns linked to previous violations. Because this process is handled by algorithms, even respectful or factual comments can sometimes be flagged incorrectly.

When this happens, an account may suddenly lose the ability to comment without any clear warning or explanation. These false flags can be frustrating, especially since there’s no direct way to appeal the decision. Still, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue and potentially regain commenting access.

Submit direct feedback to MSN by clicking on the Feedback option on the lower right part of MSN page.
Try accessing MSN using Incognito mode
Try a different browser or device
If nothing else works, use a different account temporarily until the suspension is lifted

Anyone who speaks out against ICE appears to be getting blocked and flagged.

So what can be done where people are openly hateful in comments and they aren't flagged by the algorithms based on username or content? Something is HIGHLY flawed where this stuff can pass the filter and have multiple bot accounts flood the same message.

Answer 2

It seems that your comments on MSN are being flagged due to the community guidelines. This can happen even if your comments are benign, as automated moderation processes might misinterpret certain content. The community guidelines are designed to maintain a respectful and constructive dialogue, and they prohibit insults, threats, or harassment. If you believe your comments are being unfairly censored, it might be helpful to review the specific guidelines to ensure compliance. Additionally, you can use the feedback button on MSN to report your concerns about the moderation process.
