When someone asks you to read a rule, reading it without any response leaves them guessing. A comment on the rule shows that you have read it and lets you share useful experience with other readers.
The 👍 does not show who gave it, so it cannot confirm that you have read the rule. However, it is a useful mental check: “Do I agree with this, or should something change?” Only give it a thumbs up if you agree.
Your comment is linked to you, so it provides a visible acknowledgement that you have read the rule. Use comments to expand the discussion with practical examples, experiences, or situations other readers might find useful.
If you spot a problem, take responsibility for getting it approved and fixed. Avoid leaving a correction in the comments for someone else to action.

✅ Figure: Good example - Shares practical experience that supports the rule
If the request came through Teams, mark it as done with ✅, as explained in Do you keep your chat reactions meaningful?.
