How about sending an email to the OP with a message like:
Hi,
Thanks for submitting a question to the R-help list.
We hope you did read the Posting Guide and submitted a reproducible example
of your code (by the use of dput, structure, ...).
Then there is no need to add the message to the end

We often refer requesters to the Posting Guide and chide them for not
reading it. Recently I had occasion to re-read the Posting Guide which is
for all R lists not just R-help. The word reproducible does not appear

Hello,
This does not mean that the posting guide is useless. Nor that it
couldn't or shouldn't be changed.
I would say shouldn't because there's a clear call to reproducible
code in another part of R, the man files created by package.skeleton:
