Q:

Forbidden word (help) got into question title

I just tried to edit this question: Excel If statement help. 
I didn’t try to edit the title. 
When I tried to save my edit, I got an error message box:

These words are not allowed in titles: 'help'.. See Writing Good Titles.

The word “help” had been added to the title
by an edit by somebody else a few minutes before. 
If this word is forbidden, why was that other user able to add it in?
P.S. The user who inserted the blacklisted word
has a little over 1200 rep on Super User, and I have a little over 12,000.

A:

Looks like the check for "help" was a bit naive - this specific instance was entered with some white space after it, which the system allowed.
I have added checks for this issue - and it will no longer be possible to add help followed by any white space.
