A comment may include highly laudatory words, general supporting words, additional comments and suggestions, minor critiques, or outright objections. All of these are legitimate, and many of these can co-exist in the same comment. There is no compelling reason to force a label on the comment.

If the reviewer decides that a particular answer is worthy of support (let us not kid ourselves: the system is built on a competitive model), then a vote of agreement would be placed. No name would be needed. All that would appear is a number showing the number of supporting votes received. No "favors" are earned or returned.
