RE: Post Promoter JavaScript Voting Bot - Update 7 - Fighting Spam and Abuse!
@yabapmatt this is a great service you have. Is there any way for the bot to "not" post the upvote message? Thanks so much. (Voted for you as a witness by the way) :-)
The decision over whether or not a bot comments on posts it votes is up to the bot owner. I've considered removing the comment from @postpromoter but it provides significant visibility to the service and to myself. Additionally some people like the messages as a sort of disclosure that the post has received a paid upvote.
So for the time being I intend to continue having the bot comment on posts it votes, but there are some other bots, like @buildawhale, that don't leave a comment as far as I am aware.
Thank you for your support!
