I want to suggest two things...
For one, there should be 'Suggestion', 'Feedback', and other prefixes added to the community hub.
I had to choose 'no prefix' for this thread.

Now, on to my main suggestion!
I think there should be a link in the header of the site that goes to a listing page dedicated to 'need help' posts.
This would filter search results to show all threads that have the 'need help' prefix. I think this page should order them by date and/or 0 replies. For example, a post made yesterday or today with 0 posts would show up first, but a thread from a year ago with 0 posts probably shouldn't show up. Similarly, a need help thread created today with 10 replies should probably not show up before a need help thread made today with 0 replies.
That might be too tricky, so let's stick to the main suggestion & why I think it's a good idea.
A page only showing 'need help' prefix threads allows people who want to help to quickly find threads across the many forum sections. We can review the list whenever we want & step in to help people, without having to navigate to each forum to find need help threads, or look at the new posts to find them.
This may encourage members to actively look for people needing help & answer their questions quicker than usual !
