Here's my canned response on moderation of comments on MSN articles. See, especially, points #4, #5 & #6.
You aren't communicating with MSN here. No one here can tell you why a comment was
blocked and if you reach MSN using either of the methods below, you might not receive a reply.
1. You may find useful information at https://www.msn.com/en-us/community/guideline
2. There were so many unacceptable comments that commenting was shut down for a few
months in 2023.
3. Now that commenting is allowed again, moderation is very restrictive.
4. Moderation is a dysfunctional mess. It's being done via AI, via a bot, not humans and is
random and inexplicable.
5. If a comment you tried to post was banned, you can appeal that from the Feedback link
at the bottom of nearly every MSN page. This may or may not be acted on and you may
or may not receive a reply. There used to be a more direct method, but that's been removed.
6. You can also submit feedback to MSN through Edge.
Again... You may or may not receive a reply.
