Windows 10: Make community standards make sense. They cherry pick what comments are allowed/not...

So, one person can say something awful to one group of people but if someone doesn't align with Microsoft then your voice is muffled? PATHETIC. Complete attack on our 1st amendment rights. <Political content removed><moved from Microsoft Edge>

Comments and the Community Guidelines

Time and time again, I'm trying to post a positive comment, and yet I'm blocked by Microsoft's community guidelines. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'd like to know why my comments are being picked out and how I can convey my messages without being flagged by the automated system.

" fr this movie's going to be crazy and imma have a good time watching it"

This comment was disallowed for posting, saying it violated the community guidelines. After reading the Community Guidelines multiple times over, I can conclude that I have no idea what is wrong with my comment. Maybe it's the word "crazy" being ableist?

No. " fr this movie's going to be crazy awesome and imma have a good time watching it" was not allowed either.

Turns out it was the phrase "fr" meaning "for real", which blocked my comment. Removing those two letters was enough.

I have these problems posting a simple comment, and yet it doesn't work. I see people all the time who just don't have a filter. For example, on the same article, there was a comment "Useless entitled Hollywood trash." Why was this allowed? "I can't believe that ANYONE would want to see this 'movie.' Seems absolutely idiotic," was another comment that should've been at least detected by the system.

Some more examples:

• This is where the woke and Twitter hypnotized will tell I am just against "fun" because I see this is as unfun moronic human behavior
  
• god who cares
  
• failing upwards at united woke methodist.
  
• I'm not interested in anything that liberal elitist is pushing.
  

I could keep going, but this is just in one article. None of these comments build a community. Many of these comments are blatantly hateful. Any article that is slightly political is even worse. I would just like some clarification on what exactly is allowed and what is not allowed, or I'd like to know if there are plans to add more consistency on what is or is not allowed.

Comments and the Community Guidelines

Sorry. You aren't communicating with MSN here. We can't tell you why a particular comment was blocked or not blocked.

About "plans to add more consistency"

AI reportedly learns and iS teachable but there's no way to know when something resembling consistency will be achieved.

Here's my canned response on moderation. Please see, in particular, point 4.

I can't explain the moderation of comments to MSN articles, but here are some observations.

1. You may find useful information at MSN

2. There were so many unacceptable comments that commenting was shut down for a few

months not too long ago.

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, that will be in your activity feed, and you

can appeal that decision.

6. I've searched but have not found a way to contact MSN staff regarding this moderation

except the Feedback link that's at the bottom of nearly every MSN webpage. If you receive

a reply to the feedback, it will be a generic reply that doesn't address your specific issue.
