Well, for better or worse, the notion the mod is the response sticks here. Perhaps my examples weren't great: you wouldn't say "thanks for telling me that, I'd been burning to know..." you just mod up. What can happen is that something can be modded down, without a clear reason why. It could be just me, but sometimes I'm left scratching my head - I'll have to pay closer attention to precise examples: also you generally can't write "someone's modded that down: please explain". The only idea is some type of mod-flagging mechanism. Something like that would unlikely be implemented though, probably for a number of good reasons, the main being complexity, labor and power-shifting.
