Community guidelines

Question

Why is it inappropriate for me to use a word in a response to a remark on an article that has already been used in the body of the remark that was made? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If the word bigot is used in a remark and I repeat the word in my response, why am I then not meeting the community guidelines?! Make up your minds.

I'd like a response.

Sorry but you aren't communicating with MSN here.

No reason for us to make up our minds. Moderation of posts here has nothing to do with moderation of comments at MSN.

Here's my canned response on moderation. Please see, in particular, points 4, 5 & 6.

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 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, 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.
