no "help"

please don't just say "help" in corp chat

Typing "help" in chat with zero context is like saying "me" on voice comms. It tells us nothing.

❌ please don't do this
Corp Chat Channel MOTD: Whoever keeps anchoring MTUs on the undock, stop

Almost 7 minutes of back-and-forth just to figure out what was going on. By then, xDarkHeliosX was already a killmail.
✅ try this instead
Corp Chat Channel MOTD: SRP does not cover "I thought I could take him"
16:12:08 Rael Tansen Tackled in J154832 at the C3 hole — 3 Lokis on me, I'm in a Drake, shield is holding for now. Can anyone reship and help?
16:12:31 Kira Anninen Reshipping to Sacrilege, 2 jumps from your chain entrance. Bookmark the hole.
16:12:42 Valkyn Oriki Logi on standby, undocking Osprey. Fleet up.
16:12:58 Rael Tansen Fleet's up. Bookmarks in corp folder. Holding at 40% shield.
Two pilots reshipping in under 50 seconds. That's what happens when you lead with the actual information.

Why does this matter?

When you just type "help", everyone who reads it has to play 20 questions before they can actually do anything. Warp scramblers don't wait for you to finish typing. The five minutes you spend answering "where?" and "what ship?" is five minutes nobody is warping to save you.

Just tell us what's going on, where you are, and what you need. Say hi if you want. Just don't only say "help."

Even these are fine

You: Tackled on the Dital gate in KBP7-G in a freighter, bubbles up — need standing fleet here ASAP
You: Neut Cerberus gang just entered Y-MPWL heading towards HED-GP, 12 in local — standing fleet form up
You: Rorq tackled in U-HYMT, 48 hostiles on grid including a Cenotaph, PANIC is running — need a response fleet NOW, 5b on the line
