Recently an operating system's error message included the word "help" in it. I added the error message to the title (always helpful for those perusing questions and most certainly for SERP placement) and of course got stiffarmed by ServerFault's word blacklist for titles. "Please do not use these words in titles: help" Now I cannot include the exact error message in the title (Google search results are now buzzkilled so future searchers are less likely to find it).

1. Are we certain that this is the best way to handle the word help?
2. Error messages that have the word help in them occur often enough, and including the error message in a question's title really... sunglasses ...helps.

Bonus question: Is there a canonical list of blacklisted words somewhere?

EDIT: Here's the question that spurred this post: The "Offer Remote Assistance" option is not working. Error: Your offer could not be sent

I see horrible things with help in the title. However, the horror appears to largely be unrelated to the word help. It's more because the titles are just... horrible. Focusing on removing the word help from question titles, at least in the current way it's done without an explicit encouragement to make a better title, is like seeing people getting sick from eating paste and only barring them from specifically eating Elmer's brand.
