Addressing the points:

"a) positively impact other users' opinions of you"

To be perfectly honest, I am not going to bow down to a promise of a reputation as that doesn't concern me one bit. I'm not in it for anything vaguely resembling a popularity contest, and such a contest I'm really really really not at all interested in.

"b) make you seem a little more amigable and a little less intimidante"

This clearly goes together with the first point, but I'm gonna give a condensed and refined version of the above: I'm not going to change my content and the quality of my content, comments included, so as to appease or appear more friendly. What people get is a raw, unfiltered opinion that I think is better than a more amicable approach that puts rose-tinted lenses on. Not my modvs operandī.

"c) ..."

If people want suggestions, they should ask for them. I get that some people are afraid or offended when they get a honest opinion, but seldom am I the one to give out unsolicited advice. I'm not afraid of saying what I mean, and if people are put off by me saying what I mean to say, and I know a few that were or still are, then that isn't something I'm going to change. I get that some might consider me a form of a pillar of the community, but I'm seriously not the kind of person one'd go to for a coddling.

Regarding your post-scriptum, I'm perfectly willing to give answers to any sort of question; if I give criticism and somebody wants to know what they could do about it, I'm seriously going to invest a lot of my time in a decent answer. To name generic examples, I've wasted hundreds of megabytes in online storage space by uploading grammars, spent hours upon hours explaining morphosyntactic concepts and whatnot, basically done quite a lot more than the bare minimum. I'm not the one to shy away from that, but I'm not going to do a lot of unsolicited critique on the spot.

Finally, regarding the question: you start off with an incorrect assumption that I consider SG and Karahien the worst. This is factually inaccurate: I consider Karahien to be the absolute worst, followed by a close second in Wexalian. It's just that I decided to devote my attention to the two. For your sake, I'll amend my vote. To actually answer what you asked: I didn't find anything actually deserving of a genuine upvote. Some do come close, though, but no cigar.
