I seem to have lost all 'comment' buttons on https://interpersonal.stackexchange.com/ . My reputation is sufficient and I did comment in the past.
What could be the reason?

@animuson That would be an answer, and I would accept it. :-)– JeffreyCommented May 4, 2018 at 17:34

Voting to reopen, this feature started on Area 51, and it might well be applied on more sites. (/cc @Sonic.)– Shadow WizardCommented May 5, 2018 at 12:21

On closing, if off-topic, what would have been the right site to ask? It's not an IPS question.– JeffreyCommented May 6, 2018 at 0:09

@Jeffrey The question has already been asked and answered on IPS meta. interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2878/… It's possible that you're not aware, but each site has its own meta, where it is appropriate to ask questions about that site. :)– CatijaCommented May 6, 2018 at 0:15

As it turns out, this specific site is running an experiment (for a month) where they renamed the button to "suggest improvement" so they have:
- Fewer comments.
- Fewer comment flags.
- Lower ratio of deleted comments.
- More upvotes per comment.
- More edits following comments.

1And it was supposed to be a secret so as to not influence the statistics too much! :P– Tinkeringbell ModCommented May 4, 2018 at 17:48

6And this question proves it's working since whatever the OP wanted to comment, it apparently did not qualify as "suggest improvement" Commented May 4, 2018 at 17:58

4@KateGregory nope, sorry. Not only did it delay my "comment" by an hour, it turned out to be something that would improve the answer: interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/14042/…– JeffreyCommented May 4, 2018 at 18:03
