Question

MS TEAMS Post : This message was automatically removed because it violates Community Standards.

M K 10

I was trying to pass instructions to my Team members ...But after submission of the Post in MS Teams(free version)...

I got the message...This content has been deleted for violating community guidelines.

I didn't violate anything obvious to me. No profanity or harsh language was used... It was just normal English...

Can someone let me know why this happened and if this is just a AI error? Can the post be restored?

I want to get to bottom of this to avoid any issues in future

I have the same question. Outside of "read all of the standards and deduce yourself" which I did, I too have no idea what was wrong with a work post of completed invoices. & On the community standards page it doesn't have a link to appeal or "what to do next".

Just to add to this I've recently 'migrated' to this awful version of Teams from Teams Free (Classic). What a mess! Communities are hit and miss, and this morning apparently posting a photograph of a beach is enough to 'violate community standards'. I'm the community owner too. The community isn't even accessible to some members even though they have accepted the invitation. What a terrible experience. I'll be looking for an alternative as soon as I get back from holiday. Teams Free (Classic) served us without issues for over three years. Is this honestly Microsoft's offer for consumers? If it is then it's not a serious one, just some rubbish tacked on to a business product. You can do better.
