If this would be approved, I guess it will be implemented AFTER all earlier priorities is done, since I believe Omni is still working on the new deal dispute database, the vouch system, and a few more surprises.

I guess so, but if it is going to come in a year or tomorrow, it will benefit either way (for me) and I will be able and not mind waiting. :)
For a forum this large, it would require a ton of resources.

It's a good idea, but would be better implemented on a smaller forum.
To be honest, 'Please read the Help Docs' is not a HQ post. Why? It doesn't direct OP to specific solution. Those who really want to help should either type out the proper answer, or direct the OP at specific part of Help Docs where that is stated.

Same goes with search function. I consider members that post 'Use the search bar' in every thread spammers. OP chose not to use the search bar, and if you want to help, post proper, full, and correct answer. Posting "Use the search bar" is for those who just want to increase their post count.

This feature is not needed, for it would provoke spam.

I was giving an example as of that, Maybe it would be more detailed, and members would be able to make;
$search=Please use the search bar next time please! This has been reposted many times.

Then be able to write "$search, <put link here(search it for them)>"
Nice suggestion, but instead of using this, we can make a userscript, Xerotic can edit his latest "post helper script"

Much easier.
Canned answers are too often used already. I cringe every time I see someone use the Help Docs one sometimes without answering an additional point the OP made. It would probably be too spammy & some of the idiots on here would abuse it.
If you REALLY want to post the same thing over and over again, just get Autohotkey, no reason to add this just so it's easier to get your post count up posting the same thing as probably 100 members already have in a thread.
There is too many post-whores already. This is bound to attract more.

Only staff can used canned speeches.
