Use the upvote button instead of filling the thread with comments that add nothing to the discussion.

Actually I think "thanks kind stranger" adds something to the discussion. A sense of human connection.

Like yours? (And this one...)

58 Karma users shouldn't be telling others how to behave. (See: karma is good for something...).

1) It is indeed my fault for replying, I thought flagging is only available for users with a certain number of karma but apparently you have to click on the comment for the flag button to appear (which is weird).

2) The number of karma I have doesn't affect the correctness of my statement.

No but there is a culture and it behooves you to learn it prior to trying to enforce it.

A simple downvote would suffice as well.

Empty comments can be ok if they're positive. There's nothing wrong with submitting a comment saying just "Thanks." What we especially discourage are comments that are empty and negative—comments that are mere name-calling.
