Another wording idea - "Contributing to threads sparked by downvoted comments is discouraged…"
I'll be watching this issue, and change the text as soon as a message and possibly a wiki link are decided on.

Right now the following text appears when I try to reply to a comment with positive Karma located inside a downvoted thread, for example this one: http://lesswrong.com/lw/9c/mandatory_secret_identities/7kld "Replies to downvoted comments are discouraged. Pay 5 Karma points to proceed anyway?"
Since I'm not replying to a downvoted comment, this is misleading. The text could be changed to something like "Making comments under downvoted ancestors is discouraged. Pay 5 Karma points to proceed anyway?", perhaps with a link to a longer explanation on the Wiki and/or to the ancestor comment that causes this situation, as this is still somewhat cryptic.
