Thank you for the comment and stopping by. ๐
I'll take a look at your post.
Regarding upvoting my commenters, well, I don't upvote all commenters by default. I was doing that at the beginning but changed my mind because saw too many people were abusing it, although those spammy and scammy comments I didn't upvote even at the beginning.
However, now I'm applying different criteria and more carefully pick which comment to upvote.
Thank-you for taking the time to explain your comment voting. I can understand that voting ALL comments will get abused. I generally look for what appears to be genuine comments that at least attempt to add to the conversation. If the comment is too generic and it looks like the respondent has not even read my article, I treat it like a spam post.
More or less the same here๐, with some fine tuning and few parameters more that I found useful. ๐
