It's just a reply you can set per forum. So when a regular user posts a new topic, a predefined user will respond with a standard message you set in the ACP.

I've fixed some micro issues and have bumped this to RC stage.

Wouldn't that make things overly complicated? You'd have to set a message for each group on each forum.
Can't you do what you want with the auto replacement tokens? I could of course expand on that if you miss something, but I think that would make it much easier to use than setting a handful of messages for each forum.

I understand you, but still think it would overcomplicate things.
Think about it: how would the extension determine if a group is a staff group or just any other group? Since there is no sane thing to determine this (apart from maybe the teampage checkbox, but that's not intended for anything other than the teampage) the extension should provide a separate message for each group. And then what if a user is a member of multiple groups? What message should be displayed then?
Again, it will overcomplicate things. If it suits you I can make some events for you to hook into so you can expand on this to you liking.

But as the extension is now, you set an autorespond message per forum (ACP tab forums -> edit forum). If I'd add another setting per user group as you are saying, that will result in a conflict.
Forum X -> autoreply X.
Forum Y -> autoreply Y.
Forum Z -> autoreply Z.
Group P -> autoreply P.
Group Q -> autoreply Q.
Group R -> autoreply R.
Now, I'm a user who is in both group P and Q and I post a message in forum Y. What autoreply would that result in?

Nice Ext. Thank you for that.

Unfortunately, it does not work if a thread is created automatically.
For me z.b. A new thread is created when a user reports a game in the arcade.
Could one please fix that synonymous the automatic response is created when a thread is created automatically?
That's true. This extension hooks into the event core.posting_modify_submit_post_after and that is because when I'd hook it to an event in the submit_post() function it would result in an endless loop since I call that function as well.
Maybe I can try to hook into the arcade extension as well, but I can't find it in the CDB. Do you have a link to it for me?

Sorry, but I won't implement that. Like I said, it makes stuff overly complicated. I would still have to take the multiple user groups per user into account as well as having a switch for which forum should have a autorespond at all.
You might have a use case at your board but I see it as a rare edge case that could be covered but at a large cost of both developing and maintenance. I'm willing to introduce events to hook into if someone is interested in extending this, but I won't write that one.
@whoever is interested: please let me know where you want this events to be implemented and what parameters you need.
