Meta/discourse: can't seem to reply to some announcements?

I’d like to reply to Nix Community Survey 2025, but I don’t see a reply button. I can see it on help posts, and on some other announcements (e.g. Security Advisory: Privilege Escalations in Nix, Lix and Guix), but not that announcement.

I assume it’s a permissions thing? If so, what permission/trust level is it associated with?

I’ve got a reply option there, and my trust level is “member”, so maybe that’s it? General discourse trust levels are documented here, but presumably individual forum / topic perms are specific to this instance?

This was changed here: Prevent new accounts from commenting on certain topics

Altough to me it seems like in contradiction what is stated there actually replies have been restrsicted to TL2 and above as TL1 doesn’t seem to be enough.
