Auto add comment on close vote [duplicate]

Question

The auto comment is added when one flags a question as a possible duplicate. These comments are generated in the form:

possible duplicate of [Question Title] (Link to the question)

With the recent implementation of [on hold], unclear etc. to close-votes (and flags; AFAIK users with low rep can still access the close-vote box); I think it's fair to auto-comment for the following cases as well:

• Questions asking for code must demonstrate a minimal understanding of the problem being solved. Include attempted solutions, why they didn't work, and the expected results.
• Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need.
• Questions concerning problems with code you've written must describe the specific problem and include valid code to reproduce it.
• Programming questions are off-topic on Meta Stack Overflow.

A majority of questions don't get closed within let's say 5 minutes, and OP isn't notified of close votes received on their posts. The above reasons are pretty widely used and OP has no idea why the questions aren't getting enough attention unless they get down-voted (to eternity).

These auto-generated comments will, of course, be auto-deleted just like in the case of "possible dupes" once the question gets closed or the OP edits their question.

Answer 1

While I agree that OPs should have more visibility into the trajectory of their question before a binding close vote occurs, I also know that people value the fact that the identity of close voters is secret until that binding vote occurs.

This would circumvent that privacy, as temporary as it is, and needs to be part of the discussion.

If you are voting to close a question and wish to share information with the OP about why, you are free to express that if you wish, and you'll be able to do so more eloquently than a canned auto-comment could ever do. I do this sometimes (usually asking for sample data / desired results and voting to close as unclear what you're asking). Another example, sometimes I edit the auto-close-as-duplicate text to add links to other duplicates where the OP might get an answer, or explain that the accepted answer in the dupe isn't optimal because of [x], but see the answer by [foo]...
