I think this post is a bit mean spirited. I've been here 24 hrs and I've definitely made this mistake. 

I don't believe I've upvoted a "thanks" or a "good post dude" but I know I've done it a few times.  

I assumed that since we're encouraged to upvote our posts that I was being dumb to not upvote a valid comment.  I also assumed that it was helping the author in the long run. I guess not.

And btw what constitutes a stupid comment stellabelle?

If it's such a destructive concept perhaps you could provide some guidance rather than crying "there goes the neighborhood" because of all the new morons, or encouraging people to unfollow us. Making a mistake doesn't mean we're trying to ruin the platform.

Just sayin'
