help is kind of a pointless tag, no? There's 36 questions which have it, each of them is asking for support with something different. There's no real purpose for it, since this site is for support and help anyways. Should it be removed?

help is one of those "meta" tags that seriously needs to go. It could apply to a vast majority of the questions on Ask Ubuntu and serves no constructive purpose. It should be killed with fire.

1@MarcoCeppi Why not just pretend all of them need help? That approach might help with our huge backlog of unanswered questions, actually. Commented Dec 17, 2011 at 15:10
