Again and again there are people who are new, haven't read the FAQ and post off-topic or badly researched questions. I am not here to complain but to find the best way to help them while not telling them off too much and instead encouraging them to improve there question-asking.

• What would be the best wording to do this?
• Should we have a button to post a ready-made comment/comment-template to tell them nicely to read the FAQ so we don't need to re-type that every time?
• If not built-in maybe a bookmarklet would do the trick?

I just created a simple bookmarklet to start things off:

javascript:(function(){
window.$("a[id^='comments-link-']").click();
window.$("form[id^='add-comment-']%20textarea").text("INSERT TEXT HERE");
})();
