I thought they could but the text block above makes me think I must be wrong since the possibility of doing this is only mentioned in the >15 block. But since they can't upvote until then either, why not mention that the tick delight, too, awaits them when the great day comes?

Jul 13, 2013 at 18:17 comment added Caramdir @xavier: since this is the first interaction many users will have wit texts, I'd keep it as friendly as possible. Also, if you look around a bit, regular users do get away with quite a bit of chitchat (though it is often more subtle than just "thank you".
Jul 12, 2013 at 20:07 comment added Xavier Regarding "Welcome to TeX.SX! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. [...]", shouldn't the "usually" be removed? Maybe replaced by "Note that" to keep the (I guess) intended soft tone of "usually" but be more correct?

Nov 26, 2012 at 4:18 comment added Speravir @doncherry I just have copied it from another user … and your’s I like better! Yes, that they overread the “minimal working example” with the link, is unfortunately possible.
Nov 26, 2012 at 3:45 comment added doncherry @Speravir: I liked your addition to the MWE block, but I thought the wording was a bit awkward and elusive, so I tried something else. I hope, it still carries what you wanted to say? (I added the document class etc. stuff because I deemed it helpful to keep users from posting snippets. I hope it won't lead to users posting full, unminimalized documents. If this happens, we'll definitely have to reconsider.
