OK, so I haven't been using the Stack Exchange websites long. However when I have been using them, I've noticed that sometimes you can comment and sometimes you can't.

For example, I just went to comment a question to ask for more details because the question wasn't clear, however the only option other than provide an answer was flag.

Normally there is Flag | Comment | Edit | Delete or something along those lines.

Why is this? Am I doing something wrong, is it a site bug, or is it done on purpose?

Thanks.

  • do you mean add comment? Because usually that is below that line. Also, is the question closed? Which question is it?

As you can read in the FAQ you can only comment once you reach 50 rep. However, it also states:

you can always comment on your questions and answers, and any answers to questions you've asked, even with 1 rep.

  • also, if you link your accounts (by using the same OpenID, or doing it manually), you get a free one time 100 rep bonus if you have 200+ rep on another stack exchange site Aug 12, 2010 at 19:52
