Proposal, comment and discussion refusals

This artifact is not accepting proposals

Code: proposals_disabled

Its owner has not switched on Accept proposals. Organisation artifacts start with it off. Open an issue or post in its discussion instead, or ask the owner to turn proposals on.

The proposal is no longer open

Code: proposal_not_open

It was already accepted, declined or withdrawn, so it cannot be changed or decided again. Reload the page to see what happened. To suggest more changes, submit a new proposal.

The edit window has closed

Code: edit_window_closed

A comment can only be edited for a few minutes after it is posted. Post a new comment with the correction instead.

A hidden comment cannot be edited

Code: comment_hidden

The comment was hidden by its author, the artifact's owner or a moderator. It stays hidden and cannot be changed.

The thread is closed

Code: thread_closed

The Feedback request this thread belongs to was hidden, or merged into another request. If it was merged, comment on the other request.

The discussion is read-only

Code: discussion_locked

The artifact was archived, so its discussion can still be read but takes no new posts or edits. A Community thread a moderator has hidden is read-only in the same way.

You cannot reply to that comment

Code: invalid_parent, parent_hidden

The comment you replied to is not part of this discussion, or it (or the conversation it belongs to) was hidden, removed by a moderator, or held while a moderator reviews reports on it, and such posts take no replies. The same refusal appears if the person who wrote the comment has since been banned. Reload the page and start a new thread if you still want to ask. A reply can vanish the same way while you read further down a long thread; loading more replies does not bring it back.

The post itself was refused

A Discussion post follows the same rules as a Community post, and the message says which one it broke, including a post with too much formatting to read. See "What a post may not contain" in The community.

Your account is too new

Code: account_too_new

New accounts wait a short time after signing up before they can post in discussions, list a skill from GitHub or follow people. The message tells you the exact time, in UTC, from which you can post. Try again after that; there is nothing else to do. Claiming a listing of your own skill has no such wait.
