Comments about voting, flagging, and other moderation actions detract from actual conversation: that's clear from the guidelines (e.g., Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.) and 'dang's moderation activity. As does enumerating every rule, as it encourages just this type of rule lawyering that I've now played a part in exacerbating, so I'll stop now.
