The title might seem a bit clickbaity, but let me elaborate.
I know nothing about how this site was coded and the complications behind this, but conceptually speaking it doesn't seem like it should be impossible for threads to have a sort of tag or function to them that makes it so that only people with appropriate rank can comment on certain posts. This sort of thing would outright prevent unapproved users from being able to comment even if they wanted to and would keep staff from having to enforce a rule about commenting in the wrong places.
