Question about rules.

Looks like you were not signed in at the time.

Well, looks like you just broke the rules.

Or maybe you were looking at locked threads.

More precisely, these are the forum permission settings. Different permissions can be set for each forum area and for each type of users. (Eg.: Non-registered or off-line users and registered or online users have different permissions settings)

In the majority of forum areas, for registered or online users the permissions for posting new threads, replies attachments and post edition are enabled. Some areas such as the marketplace for instance are set so that one may not edit his own post for the obvious reason that you don't want sellers to modify their asking price.
