I think this rule should be enforced more.. especially in the Sell/Swap.

If you look through there you can't find anything with out clicking every thread to see what's in it.  Threads with non-descriptive titles should be deleted as soon as a mod/admin sees them.

It's a plain waste of people's time when someone posts "Wanna trade?", or something.  Even if they post what the part is it's not enough.  Like a title saying "Animal stem".  You click it not knowing if the stem is for sale, if someone is looking to buy one, or if they're looking to trade one for something, etc.

It should say WTB, FS, or Trade in the title, along with the part.

Sorry for the rant and it's not even in the Buy & Sell but there was no where to post it there...  And I'm not trying to make rules or anything on someone else's site but this is annoying as fuck.

It's the same thing in this forum of course also, but when I come in here to give tips, see new parts, etc. I don't mind browsing through a few threads to see what they're about.

on my computer if you put your mouse over the title a little blurb comes up showing what's in the thread...

Yes, it's the same on my computer.  I do this all the time, but is it that hard to make a descriptive title?  It takes 3 seconds to type a couple extra words.

Also, if you're seeking help please include the parts/symptoms of what is wrong.

Example of doing it wrong:
