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:/ask
, the user has to pick a new titleUntitled
While at it, made the message a bit more readable and friendly.
