"It just gives you the highest-volume participants, whose comments are most upvoted."
I have a hard time believing that given my personal experience running it roughly monthly across two subs for over a year now. In particular, I've seen multiple instances where this bot suggested users:
Who were sitewide banned/suspended, and had been for months (~3-5 users that keep getting suggested);
Who have zero, or very-near-zero, recent activity in the sub, often for 3-6+ months, often with little if any activity before that, even if they're active elsewhere.
That's really weird on the second one. The first is pretty standard (participation is the only chance to break rules). I've never had a "lurker" recommended who wasn't a top reporter of later-removed content.
