This is controlled by the `sequential replies threshold` site setting. The default value for that setting allows you to create 3 replies in a row. After you’ve created 3 replies, you will be prevented from creating more replies until another user creates a post in the topic. The setting cannot be disabled, but it could be set to a very high number.
