Q: How to deal with answers that should be comments by users with not enough reputation to comment?

Jeremy RickardSeveral times I have seen answers that should be comments posted by new users without enough reputation to comment. Sometimes they know it should be a comment, and say so. Sometimes these get the form response of "..., when you have enough reputation, ...", which seems to me a bit unhelpful and ...

I guess the above could (or even should) be tagged and .
It reminded me of this older discussion - I will only link one comment posted by quid:
re comment via answer: this indirectly came up here meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/638/… For this site François G. Dorais comment there could be considered as 'official documentation' that this is the way to proceed if the comment is important. — user9072 Sep 13 '13 at 9:16
The comment to which the above refers is this one:
If you really have a burning desire to comment on a post, add your comment as an answer and flag for moderator attention. The moderators will convert your answer to a comment. — François G. Dorais ♦ Aug 17 '13 at 23:22
