Can't post comments

Question

I keep getting blocked from posting any comments, likes, etc. Is my account flagged for some reason

Answer 1

If this is on the MSN site this forum is not support for MSN.

Their only option is the Feedback link at the bottom of their webpage.

Answer 2

On Microsoft Q&A and related Microsoft community properties, posting and reaction (likes, votes, etc.) can be blocked for several reasons:

1. Account or service-level lock/suspension
   If the underlying Microsoft account is locked or temporarily suspended (for example, due to suspected spam, malware, or policy violations), access to some services and interactions can be restricted. Microsoft accounts are commonly locked when activity appears to violate the Microsoft Services Agreement, including:
   • Malware or harmful content
   • Phishing or attempts to steal information
   • Spam or bulk/unwanted messaging
   • Creating/using multiple accounts to bypass policies
2. Service-specific moderation blocks
   Individual Microsoft services (such as MSN comments, Feedback Portal, or other community features) can block an account from posting or reacting if automated or human moderation flags the activity as violating local community guidelines. This can happen even if the Microsoft account itself shows no violations in the general account portal.
3. Feedback Portal–style blocks
   For some Microsoft feedback/community properties, if an account is blocked, sign-in may still work but posting is disabled and a “You have been blocked” or similar message appears. In those cases, the unblock path is service-specific and may require:
   • Using a different Microsoft account, or
   • Posting feedback about the block in the site’s own feedback area so the owning team can review.

Because blocks are enforced by the specific service and/or by the Microsoft account security systems, the next steps depend on what is actually blocked:

1. Check whether the Microsoft account is locked or suspended
   • If there are any sign-in issues, verification prompts that fail, or notices that the account has been locked or suspended, follow the standard recovery/unlock flows described in the Microsoft account lock guidance.
   • Typical causes include spam-like behavior or other activity that triggers security systems.
2. If the issue is limited to a specific site (for example, MSN comments or Feedback Portal)
   • For MSN article comments: restrictions are controlled by MSN’s own moderation and feedback channels, not by Microsoft Q&A. Use the Feedback option on an MSN page (usually at the bottom of the page) to report that commenting and reactions are blocked and request review.
   • For Feedback Portal blocks: the documented path is to create a new Microsoft account and post feedback about the block in the Feedback Portal’s own feedback forum so the owning team can investigate.
3. If everything else works but Q&A/community posting is blocked
   • Confirm that sign-in to the Microsoft account dashboard and other Microsoft services works without lock/suspension messages.
   • If only one specific community surface is affected, use that site’s built-in feedback or support link (often labeled “Feedback” or similar) to contact the site owners, since Microsoft Q&A moderators cannot override blocks on other services.

If the account has indeed been locked or suspended at the Microsoft account level, posting and reactions will remain blocked until the lock is cleared via the official account recovery/unlock process.
