Some Forum Confusion

I wasn't sure where to post this and I didn't want to clog up the bug reporting forum so I thought I'd turn to general. I had a mod respond to a post I made in the in game bug forum that has since been moved to accepted bugs. I was asked to provide more information but the forum is now telling me I don't have permission to respond to the mod. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Once it's moved to approved, normal users cannot reply to it.

It's how they've set up that section to function, nothing you did wrong.

Well that is troublesome. How am I supposed to provide them with the information they need? I don't think I can edit my post to provide them with information either.
