How do I report a PERSON who is on microsoft news? Not their comments, and nothing about their name or profile, but the user.

Question

Someone on there, a stranger, is stalking, and harassing me. Bombarding me with messages, and insults, and making personal, libelous remarks. Like 20 messages all at once, over, and over. MS doesn't have the option to block people, which frankly, is absurd. There is no other option, because I obviously don't know who they are. But I feel threatened. I can't report it to authorities, as what could they do? I've tried that in the past, and they won't do anything. Considering there is a rise in women, and girls being targeted, and killed by extremist males, I think it's absolutely unacceptable that there are not better protections, and recourse here.

Answer 1

Yes, but there are WAY too many of them. Hundreds. I can't even see all of them, because when I click, it won't take me straight to the comments. My profile is private already. Somehow, this person is tracking down every single post I've been on. They've obviously spent a lot of time doing so, just to harass me. Even when I do report their comments, nothing happens. They don't remove them, and they don't ban the person in question. I really need another option here. Otherwise I'll just have to delete my account. Which isn't fair. I shouldn't have to remove myself to stop this person.

Then report as many as you can.

And I know of no way to contact MSN other than the Feedback link.

1. If this harassment is being done through comments, can't you report the comments?
2. You can report this through the Feedback link on nearly every MSN page. If you receive a reply, it will not be a personalized reply.
3. You can make it more difficult for the offender to follow you by making your profile private. Sign-in at https://www.msn.com/en-us/community/profile/me  Click on Privacy and set "Make your profile private" to either on or off.
   The person harassing you will still be able to post offensive comments (if they're not blocked by MSN) but won't be able to access your profile to see a list of your comments.
