Mar 19, 2014 at 14:42 comment added George Stocker Mod @GIJoe I agree. It is a waste of our time. I really wish these comments were deleted by 10K users or automatically aged away. They're distracting, not useful to future visitors, and really just cloud up the site. If you really want to thank someone, upvote them.
Mar 19, 2014 at 14:09 comment added TLP I agree with GI Joe. When making a contribution, I care more about someone saying "thank you" than getting an extra upvote. When someone just accepts an answer without a word, it feels sort of rude. Thank you for clearing this up, animuson.

I can see why they would be flagged, but we could all be a little nicer to each other on the StackOverflow site especially since sometimes things are prone to misunderstanding. A Thank you or "Hey, this really helped me". Goes a long way.
