Re^4: A reply falls below the community's threshold of quality. You may see it by logging in. (Acolyte Level=3 needed)

I have updated the code to show a distinct message for this scenario, i.e. where the user is logged in but the node is very bad. The text for this case is:

A reply falls below the community's minimum standard of quality and will not be displayed.

Thanks to hexhex for bringing this to our attention.
