imjake9 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 So, for whatever reason, I cannot ask anything on Questions. There is no ask button, and going to http://questions.technicpack.net/ask gives me the message "You do not have permission to perform that operation." Why is this? Is there something I am unaware of? Also, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I didn't see a subforum for questions about the website itself.
Wolfy910 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I have the same issue myself, I was just assuming it was based on how much you used the forums or something.
NightKev Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I think you have to post at least one answer to another question before you can post a question yourself.
milcondoin Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 But who would post the first question, because that poster couldn't answer questions first? Also this would foster some kind of posting useless garbage, just to get the rights to ask your own questions.
EzioA Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 This is exactly like the all-time favorite question, who came first? The chicken or the egg?
littleweseth Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 It's a bug I've raised in other forum posts. New users can't post questions, comment, upvote/downvote, or edit. The ability to ask questions is granted after your first answer. The ability to comment is granted when you have more than 0 rep (i.e. after the first time someone upvotes you.) This is a little silly, and hopefully the permissions for new users are changed soon.
Lothos Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 i see nothing wrong with it. you have to develop a rapport with the community that you're not an assclown and know what you're talking about before you should be allowed to comment. questions about the site and/or the client I can also agree with since you have to consider that the dev team would only consider input from people active in the community.
littleweseth Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Lothos: The purpose of comments on a Q&A site, like Technic Questions or Stack Overflow, is to ask for clarification on questions or answers. This is a fairly basic requirement. New users without comment privileges still need to ask for clarifications, so they end up posting answers in response to answers. This isn't the way a Q&A site is supposed to work! I looked around the Question2Answer software and I couldn't actually find a config file that modifies settings like the reputation level required to comment, etc. I have a nasty feeling that they're actually hard-coded.
tekkit.man Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 im having the same problem, so i thought it would be relevant to post on here first to see if it works....
NightKev Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Nope, the Q/A site is independent of the forums (in that posting here affects nothing of your abilities on the Q/A site).
