***for Sale!!!!!!!!!!!***

[Tom37]

quite possibly the most annoying thread title ever.
1/ "***" before and after the title
2/block capitals
3/excessive use of punctuation; this also applies to question marks
4/ "For Sale" is a ****e title! unhelpful and doesnt follow the forum rules.

does this annoy anyone else? or is it just me?

Classifieds is so over abused it's unreal. No-one seems to stick to the rules - and TFP only sweep through them occasionaly.

Some current ones include :

• Last try to get rid AUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Gotta Go! Need more room!!
• For Sale
• Need Quick Sale Asap
• AfterMarket ION Trigger

But, as long as TFP let it go....

• For Sale
  

that one inspired this thread

But if you scroll over the thread title without clicking you can read a bit of the thread What i do.

 

[Tom37]

true... if slightly beside the point, its just easier if people actually put the right title in the first place, then you dont have to bother

The singular thing that annoys me the most, is when I'm asking for something or have posted a WTB or WTD thread, & people reply with a shop. Ok yeah sometimes it's the best option (ie if no one has that thing 2nd hand) but this one's just annoying

The report bad post button is the little red triangle shaped graphic in the top right corner of the post.

 

[Raffles]

But why should I have to report every 'bad' post? I'd be here all day. It's sheer lazyness not to put 3 little letters in the title.

Another example :

• bit off a weird 1 but does..........

Completely agree, why do they stick their nose in in the first place? - even worse is the idiots who "TELL YOU" that you can buy it from fred bloggs and co cheaper than your selling yours etc but they dont PM you, just knacker your thread and post all over it thinking they are self appointed mods or doing some sort of public service! that really arses me off...

My tenpeneth!

The report bad post button is the little red triangle shaped graphic in the top right corner of the post.

To be honest, i didnt know what that button was till last week! I used it the other day when some plonker posted on my thread and the mods moved it within 20 mins - so its worth using! I think with the amount of n000bs joining on here, an element of self policing using the triangle is required.

Back on topic - sorry for the rant
