| Nov 22, 2020 at 0:00 | comment | added | Jakub Fojtik | @SecurityHound But the user did NOT have the rep to submit a comment. They could not have followed the rules because the rules prevented them from doing so. That their post is further criticized just adds insult to injury. | |

| Nov 21, 2020 at 16:44 | comment | added | Security Hound | @Jakub - This commentary was submitted as an answer, different rules exist on answers, a lot easier to delete actual unnecessary commentary, compared to commentary submitted as an answer. Most often the commentary submitted as answer isn’t actually helpful. The fact the commentary submitted as an answer this time was helpful, just goes to show, it probably should have actually been submitted as a comment. It would have resulted in the existing answers being improved. Commentary submitted as an answer won’t notify the answer author of the feedback to their answer | |
| Nov 21, 2020 at 14:48 | comment | added | Jakub Fojtik | So you'd rather lose the information the person can provide instead of having it in the wrong type of post? The whole problem would be avoided if the stupid rep requirement was removed. Comments can be flagged after all. | |
| Nov 21, 2020 at 6:04 | comment | added | Security Hound | “For comments on other people's posts, 50 reputation is required.” - And? The fact you need 50 reputation to submit a comment doesn’t give a user without the privilege to submit a comment latitude to submit commentary as an answer. | |

| Nov 20, 2020 at 21:13 | comment | added | Scratte | Just because someone thinks they contribution is a comment, doesn't make it one. And the reverse is also true. See Answer posts prefixed with “This is a comment not an answer” I mean I could start this with "This is not a comment". | |
