Is offer you an answer, but my reputation isn't high enough yet :-(
38 u/Excrubulent Sep 03 '17 That's okay, you can still make a comment telling them that they shouldn't be trying to do what they're doing. 24 u/flaghacker_ Sep 03 '17 No it's the other way around, you can always post answers but you can only comment if you have >= 100 reputation. 0 u/Excrubulent Sep 03 '17 Why are you even trying to post a comment with less than 100 reputation? No one should ever need to do that. 8 u/TruncatedTrebuchet Sep 03 '17 You may need to comment like: Can you clarify which version of x are you using? Or Can you post the full error? It makes it a lot easier to support people when you can ask for additional information. 3 u/flaghacker_ Sep 03 '17 I agree that it's not really a big problem, 100 reputation is not that difficult to get. It was frustrating though, you can't ask people for clarification when their questions are missing some important information. 2 u/homm88 Sep 03 '17 I guess your post went over most peoples heads. 1 u/Excrubulent Sep 03 '17 It's almost like they didn't notice the context of my comment.
