I'm not sure what you're saying but, sure, unhelpful responses are...
unhelpful.

I will occasionally post an attempt at a humorous response but I usually
only do this when I know that one of the regulars will be following along
behind me, cleaning up behind me with an actual answer to a question.  As
I keep saying, I think that 99% of the responses here are pretty helpful.

Otherwise, your points are all well taken.
