That shouldn't be the issue. The question is the effect. What would make you more pleased, a standard message/template that you did good, or a personal message from someone from who you know yourself that he watched over your work? Personally, I doubt that a simple template machine could lead to an increase. It simplifies the progress to leaving such a message. But it is also an double edged sword. While it is more likely that you will get a friendly message, the messages itself are weakened, since they look like a standard templates.
