There's no overall policy imposed by TDF. It is up to the individual
translation teams to decide whether they want to allow suggestions
from members not in their team/from anonymous users or only logged in
users...

Don't get that - what do you have to click for being allowed to edit?
This thread only started with the suggestions, because the use-case of
"use-suggestion and edit it" was slow - it doesn't mean that people
will use that as their primary way of working with weblate. It is way
more common to just do translation by directly committing the string
or to accept a suggestion without the need to edit it first.

Doesn't matter how many translations you did - as long as you're
logged in properly.

you did make a source-string comment last month at least:
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_ui-master/officecfgregistrydataorgopenofficeofficeui/en/?checksum=9489a26c5a9ed688
so just to clarify: It is not just since last week's update that you
cannot make comments, but it is a longer problem for you?

indeed links for help were broken, fixed now - at least to the degree
it is fixable, some strings just don't have the necessary info in the
location comments.

That permission was there even with earlier commits, but that's
prohibited on purpose.

Nope, that's the desired way to do it.
