Several reasons, none to be particularly alarmed about.
One, it is sometimes a sign of a spammer. They will register, post a few solitary posts with no feedback to replies (so they look like a regular member) and then start the spam parade.
Second, this is a discussion forum. Though there are no particular rules about it, we encourage discussions. Even a "thanks for the answer" is nice feedback that you've read what was posted and appreciate people's efforts to answer the question.
Third, we do not encourage answering student's homework assignments, and it started to look like we might be doing someone's astronomy homework.
Again, no big deal, its just us mods keeping an eye on things.
