Check for good thread titles

Hi,

I hope I'm speaking for more of you helpers that the thread titles the help seekers often enter do not (clearly) indicate what it is they are seeking help for. Also, about one third of the current threads on the first page of the CSS section contains the world help, newbie and the likes.

Wouldn't it be nice if a simple javascript of server-side script would check for those words in the title field and request the help seeker to come up with a title that clearly describes what exactly it is that help is sought for?

Those terms do not have to be forbidden, but titles with those words in 'em are often as clear as mud. It would be happy if that could be arranged. Would you agree?
