I think this only happens for new users (orange-yellow usernames). Afaik, this has been reported before, and I could confirm it with my
new user test account (greg_test). Can try again later.
Edit: Can confirm. This is what I see with my test account (with 0 posts), simply after using the 'New Topic' button, and doing nothing else - I never tried submitting:

Happens also in other forums, not only 'Ask for Help'.
