Closes #488 .

Having threads with 'help' in their title frequently leads to confusion for beginners, who think that this is a general purpose help channel and hijack it for their own questions.

It happens about twice per week and its cumbersome, confusing and unfair to all parties.

This fixes the issue by simply checking thread names for help (case insensitive) and, if present:

  • for /ask, the user has to pick a new title
  • for implicit ask, the title goes to Untitled

example

While at it, made the message a bit more readable and friendly.

I like it, very smart. With this one simple trick, we also solve the 'too many questions' issue! 📉

Merging this, seems to be fine - if not, we can act afterwards. Want to accelerate development for this, need to get out a release for all the major improvements. Also, its weekened and I want to code a bit 😄
