No commenting or rating on blog

[Former Member]

Dear SCN support team,

several community members have told me on twitter that they were unable to comment on my blog post http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/blog/2013/11/28/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish. rating doesn't work either. This includes SAP Mentors, so it's not their status. And yes commenting is allowed on the blog (and I was able to leave myself a comment). And yes, I have tried turning it off and on again...

Could you please check what is going wrong

thanks

Hi Jürgen,

I've fixed the permission for registered user to the . Commenting etc. should be possible (again).

Best,

The records we keep show that was set to read-only recently. probable knows more about this.

Not sure why this happened. Perhaps knows something about this.

Come to think of it, this was by design.

The ability to contribute at the top level was turned off on purpose, I'm assuming because "Developer Center" as such isn't about a certain topic/product/technology.

Why should we change it now? Especially in this time of transition.

Might be worth noting that the same behaviour applies for the document posted in the same space:

I thought it was Juergen trying to avoid about a billion SCN points from all the developers on SCN rating the news as AWESOME! but it may be something related to the settings on this particular space?

Cheers,

I think might help us since he recently helped me with a similar issue. My guess is that the entire space is configured read-only so commenting/rating isn't possible.

Yes, seems to be space-wide permissions. There are not a lot of comments to documents in this space overall, and all comments seem to come from our team...

, to the rescue...
