Fixed #561 which is about a bug where its possible for an user to do a format-injection on help thread titles.
The source of this is us doing
.formatted(...)
twice on the same string. The second invocation will then pick up injected%s
by the user, leading to a crash.The fix is to split the formatting section into two isolated pieces. The code, while being more verbose and less elegant, is also more readable now.
