    I don't know, but I think something should be done about this user. Seems like a troll to me.

    Hi, Felipe. I flagged for moderator attention on the most recent question, about competitions I think.

    I have been suspicious too - hard to pin down exactly, but the mix of questions and the non-serious style make it hard for me to interpret the questions in good faith.

    I agree. In addition to 6 or so closed questions that clearly fail the FAQ test, there was one more (about anorexia) that was so much off the mark that it must have flagged as spam and disappeared. The user hasn't responded even a single time to various comments left by a variety of mathematicians. This is getting past tolerable levels.

    There was a post here not long ago about a likely troll, referring to an even earlier one who evidently started out with multiple short questions, did not respond to comments or answers. So this is a popular tactic, hit-and-run.

    What's the minimum reputation needed to leave comments on your own question, or on other people's answers?

    50 Leave comments, from the FAQ. That explains the lack of comments. But I still think a legitimate person does not ask 7 questions in a row that are all worth being closed.

    I believe anyone can leave comments on their own questions.

    jbl is correct. You can always leave comments on your own posts or on answers to your questions.

    A few questions were deleted, then two more were posted recently and now are closed as well. I found the first meta thread containing the word "troll," Nov. 16. Evidently there is a connotation of inflammatory remarks, not something I knew. This person is milder but is in any case posting spam, with intent to deceive at least.
