I am allowed to comment only with my own post?

There should be a button saying "Post a comment" right below any reply

You have to have at least 10 karma in order to be able to add comments. EDIT: To other posts. You can always comment on your own posts.

Answer some questions (or just asking this one might be enough), and then you will receive that capability.

+1: These karma points don't allow for new users to step into discussions easily.

Well that seems like a little odd requirement. Could lead to some posts that are mainly intended to acquire the needed Karma points for commenting. Feel a bit guilty with this post myself :)

+1 on the Karma points required to comment being obnoxious - the questions I feel qualified to help with often require clarification, which doesn't belong in an actual answer ... so I just pass on them.

(and yes, I would have put this as a comment under @tscharmm's answer, if only I was able to.)

@lindzey @tschamm I know this is a problem, but spam is also a problem. And the threshold is pretty important for protecting posts from being spammed in the comments.
