Vote up is the thanks gesture in SO. High-traffic forums moderate "thanks" messages because it increases information density, making the content easier to digest. Imagine an SO comment section with 300 thanks messages and you're looking for that one comment with relevant information.

I was talking about adding "thanks" in the question, not comments (which wasn't obvious from my previous post I guess).
