I know you're not supposed to complain about downvotes, but seriously?! A complement about a witty comment gets me downvoted. I give up.

Did you mean, "...gets me downvoted. I give UP." ;)

That's what the upvote button is for.

There is more than one way to give positive feedback. Think of it like metric buckets. Imagine you could only rate movies out of one.

Sometimes you really like something and you want to tell the person you really liked it.

This obsession people develop about the "right" way to use upvotes and comments is inane.
