Jul 17, 2016 at 4:22 comment added Thomas Ward Mod @MichaelChirico ... The drop in reputation resulted in you falling below the rep level for commenting on posts, which is why you can no longer interact as you intend to. This ultimately traces back to both of the questions I linked to in the "Note" section of my answer, in which this has been discussed already at Meta.SE and has already been indicated by Jeff Atwood that this linkage between rep, privileges, and bounties affecting both is unlikely to change.
Jul 17, 2016 at 4:21 comment added Thomas Ward Mod @MichaelChirico I didn't abstain from reading your question. I am pointing out that what you wish to have happen traces back to both (a) a misinterpretation of what a bounty is used for, and (b) the core way that permissions are handed out. With regards to (a) a bounty is designed to generate attention for a question, it's not a form of 'adopting' questions and gain the same privileges for interaction (such as commenting on them) as the OP of the question would get. Which leads to (b) where there's no way to separate reputation level and permissions. ...
Jul 17, 2016 at 3:24 comment added MichaelChirico I'm frankly insulted that you seem to have completely abstained from actually reading my question by lipping off the justification of a question which I didn't ask. I am not asking to retain all privileges. I'm asking to maintain my ability to interact with posts that I've "adopted" through a bounty award.
