The help category is set up specifically to mimic the format of StackOverflow, where one of the replies can be selected as an “answer”. However, we have had multiple instances of people selecting the help category for open ended discussions that don’t fit this format. For example:

- [Need help Relearning Game Dev](https://forum.tsuki.games/t/need-help-relearning-game-dev/551)
- [Best Practices for Modular Systems in Godot?](https://forum.tsuki.games/t/best-practices-for-modular-systems-in-godot/503)

In these cases, I change the category to general, but I’m starting to think that we may want two categories. Perhaps we could do “Q&A” for StackOverflow-style questions and “Advice” for open ended discussions.

What do you think? Maybe you can think of better names? Maybe you think the status quo is fine? Let me know.

I like the idea of the StackOverflow-style questions in #Help. I do not think that a new category for advice questions is necessary. Instead, I suggest that a tag be created in the #General category. Although if they happen frequently enough maybe it is a good idea to have a new category for these advise questions.

Only disagreement is “Q&A” for StackOverflow-style questions. I think help generally gets the idea of the category across better.

Like the rest of the idea though :3

Actually now that I think about it, Q&A would probably be better just to avoid names being too similar.

I’ve gone ahead and renamed `#help` to `#Q&A`, though I left the URL slug as `help` since `&` can’t be part of the slug and `qa` would probably be confusing, I think.
