The bug report is not about questions whose topic mainly concerns the early stages of learning a field, but about actions made by new users on Codidact; thus it concerns the ability system, at least in this particular case.
I comment on an answer on my question, and get this error: "New users can only comment on their own posts and on answers to them"
I'm the author of this question: [What is the advantage of creating instances from a method rather than constructor?](https://software.codidact.com/posts/293634) A user provides an answer and I want to open a comment thread. I get this response when submitting it:
```json
{
"status": "failed",
"message": "New users can only comment on their own posts and on answers to them."
}
```
Isn't that I'm doing exactly what it says?
Here is the content of the comment:
> Title: When is overloaded function good to use? Is it only error-prone for authors, not users?
> Body: If overloaded functions tends to be error-prone in itself, then when is it be good to use? In small scripts I guess? Is the whole argument boils down to it's not worth for the *authors* to catch all possible errors when using overloaded constructors? Because I'm unable to imagine how *users* can have trouble with it
