I used 100 reputation to create a bounty on a question, but this put my reputation at 41. II could not comment in any way on the responses I received because my reputation did not allow me to comment. EitherEither a user should not be allowed to go below 50 when posting a bounty, or the rule should be broken for that post. II know this is a corner case, but it was very very frustrating as a user who gave reputation to get an answer, when the answer was more on the right track but still not a complete answer to the problem.

If a user is allowed to create a bounty they should be allowed to comment even if their reputation goes below 50
