I don't have a comment on the upvote issue but the stupid ass non relevant canned bot Replies are super annoying. Just say "Thanks for the post" or something simple. Stop trying to fake it. It wastes my time having to filter out all the "noise".

I think that's the part that is bad for the community. These stupid canned replies that are trying to look "real" do nothing to add value to the community and only waste time and space. A simple "Thanks for the post" would be better for everyone and everything.
