I've tried adding a comment to a few games' discussion pages, and I get "You are no longer allowed to make comments on this game." instead of the edit box. I can't edit my own messages either. This started yesterday, I think. What gives?
Could you provide specific examples?
In response to Schnitzelnagler
Every game I've tried to do so on. Every one of them is an example. Anime games, RPG games, games not in official guilds. Tried testing on a few random games as well. No dice.

Just checked these, too.

Could you please try to leave a comment on Isorath and report back here with note on how/if it worked?
Thank you in advance.
In response to Schnitzelnagler
Same result. I just tried with another key and that doesn't work either. Interesting.

It appears that this have been an (unfortunately) necessary measure to stop the spamming that was going on and getting out of hands. Thus, the functionality has been restricted to members only, but is being reworked.
For more information, please have a look at this thread.

You might have done too many at once, or too many a day.
A little while back the hub comments were restricted to BYOND Members only to avoid spam. However this was not a change that was just made the other day.

I'm not sure why you'd be seeing the message you are however. There must be something in the logic that's getting confused. I've got a fix lined up that should make the situation clearer.

I'm not a byond member. It's not supposed to not allow me to comment. The error was that I was allowed.

Do I understand correctly?

You're not a BYOND member and as such, you're no longer allowed to post comments on BYOND hubs. The message you were receiving was incorrect and didn't adequately explain what was going on.
In response to Tiberath
I was still able to comment on hubs until a few days before I posted this topic. I wasn't a member at that time, either. That's what I'm a bit entertained by now.
