Ability to upvote or "like" comment on an answer.

Even if it weren't to count for rep, I'd like to be able to indicate that I think certain comments in a thread below an answer deserve special consideration.

Especially for instructors and TA's to motivate and highlight when students help each other, this is really the only way.

Rate comments and answers

It would be nice if students can rate comments and answers, you know, just like on reddit or stack overflow.

Upvote in a reply to an answer

I don't seem to have the ability to upvote a reply to an answer. For example, student A posts a question, and student B replies with a vague statement. Student C replies to student B correcting them and providing an answer worth of an upvote. I don't seem to be able to upvote or endorse the answer of student C.

Thanks for the feedback Marcia Levitus. This use case makes sense. We'll bump this up higher on our roadmap.

Anther argument that comments on answers should be able to be upvoted, I've seen student answers that are (somewhat) incomplete or incorrect and the responding comment either fixed a mistake or clarified a problem with the answer. Such a comment can be more valuable than such an answer and deserves rep.
