My answer to "Reputation and ability to post comments"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project

First of all this is a configurable option. It's set in the [POINTS] of !config.ini
The reason to require some reputation points for comments is to prevent new, less experienced members from potentially taking conversation off-topic with comments. It's also serves as an incentive to earn reputation points with good questions and answers.

These minimal reputation is only required to comment on other people's questions and answers. You can still add comment to your own question without the reputation requirement.
