blocked comments

Question

Please restore my ability to comment on MSN articles. My account has been blocked for four years, and I would appreciate a review of this

Answer 1

MSN article comments and account restrictions are controlled by MSN’s own moderation systems and cannot be changed from Microsoft Q&A, Learn, or Edge/Windows support.

To request review of a long-term block on commenting in MSN:

1. Open any MSN page that has an article with comments.
2. At the bottom right of the MSN page, select the Feedback option.
3. In the feedback form, clearly describe the issue:
   • That commenting has been blocked on all MSN articles for about four years.
   • That the account previously could comment and now cannot.
   • That a review of the restriction is requested.
4. Submit the feedback so it reaches the MSN team.

MSN uses automated moderation (an AI bot) for comments, which can incorrectly flag accounts. There is no separate technical support channel outside the MSN feedback mechanism to remove or adjust MSN comment restrictions. If there is also any issue with signing in or with the underlying Microsoft account being locked or suspended, that must be handled through the standard Microsoft account and Outlook.com unblock flows, but the ability to comment on MSN itself still depends on MSN’s moderation and feedback process.

For general account lock issues (if applicable):

• If the Microsoft account itself is locked due to unusual activity or policy violations, follow the guidance in Microsoft account has been locked to address malware, phishing, or spam-related issues.
• If Outlook.com access is blocked, use the Sign-in Helper in Unblock my Outlook.com account and, if needed, follow the “When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account” link from that article.
