Why can't I respond to a post in the Articles forum?

Also, what exactly is the "warning level"? I assume it's nonzero for persons with bad forum behavior?

When the moderators get mad at you, they can "award" you warning percentage points. I don't think they do anything except let you know you've been naughty. I got into a nasty fight with a mod once and ended up with Warning Level: 100%, but was still able to use the forum normally... the points expire after a year. Presumably if you get more than 100% something will happen but I never got to that point...

The fight sounds like an interesting read -- perhaps I'll search for it But, seriously, thanks for the clarification!
