Ask HN: Why can't I comment on an article I submitted?
I noticed that when I submitted an article today, I didn't have the option to comment on it.
- ColinWright 6y agoWhich one, and when? Edit: OK, I've turned on "Show dead" and there it is. My guess is that it was DOA. Lots of submissions are DOA, and the reasons vary. You're best to follow the advice in the Guidelines[0] and email the mods. And it also appears that your question is answered in the FAQ[1]: "Why can't I post a comment to a thread? "Threads are closed to new comments after two weeks, or if the submission has been killed by software, moderators, or user flags."

- ColinWright 6y agoI agree it's dead, although it doesn't say "[Flagged]". And yes, submission history noted.
