I am not able to submit comment, when I try to submit a comment, which is a reply to one of the comment for my question, I am getting error "an error occured during comment submission". Is it a bug? or if it is purposefully, the message could have been more descriptive.

You need to have 50 rep to leave a comment. You have 56 rep now, try it again.– slm ModMar 25, 2015 at 10:51

Still same issue, even without 50 rep I can comment on my own question right?– RenjithMar 25, 2015 at 12:20

Correct you should be able to comment on your own Q's and A'ers. I'd suggest trying to clear your browser's cache as well.– slm ModMar 25, 2015 at 12:27

I cleared all browser's cache, no change. I will try from different network/system or mobile. Interestingly I am able to comment on answer but not for question.– RenjithMar 25, 2015 at 13:47

Now from a different machine, which is in a different network I could comment.– RenjithMar 25, 2015 at 17:20

I'm going to guess here... we see folks unable to post from certain corporate networks that run paranoid software that blocks traffic that looks malicious. Things like SQL in particular tend to set those off.
One workaround is to visit the site over HTTPS, which makes this sort of traffic monitoring impossible.
Since you were able to post from another network and there don't seem to be any related exceptions in our logs, my money is on that. If you run into this problem again from that same location, try the workaround above and let me know if it works.
