Can we outlaw "MUST SEE", "GORGEOUS", "STUNNING", etc. in the subject field?

[jar240]

Request to the mod: I'm requesting that you please outlaw the following useless (and annoying) descriptors in thread subject lines of the for sale forums:
- gorgeous
- stunning
- breathtaking
- incredible
- cheap
- a steal
- unique
- rare
- with pics, w/pics
- LOOK
- L@@K
- crazy (SteveC)
- must-see (SteveC)
- incredible (SteveC)
- mojo (baba)
(please feel free to add your selections here)

Or rather, only allow the make, model, colour, maybe year and any *relevant* info?

(I was "" close to posting this in the FS forums, but I counted to 10 )

Goes right along with "crazy, must-see, incredible, etc." stuff for videos of people playing. Unless it's a poster I recognize, I just skip it.

Reminds me of ridiculous eBay and/or craiglist sales.

OMG L@@K!!1

[baba]

Throw mojo on the pile.

How about we just outlaw posting altogether? After all, everybody objects to something...

I have to agree with the OP though. This isn't Ebay where I lurk through a thousand posts and pick what looks good. Since there MIGHT be 5 of the same bass/amp at any given time I think specs, color, condition is a good idea.

I don't sellers opinions in the title (even though I have been guilty of it in the past.....maybe).

I fully realize that all censorship begins this way, and easily gets carried to extremes.

I probably should've counted to 20 and posted it in a different forum -- it was intended as comic relief for others who are likely share the feeling.

Of course, you can always use the mildly chiding but irritating
post technique of pointing out that it isn't OMFG1!1! GORGEOUS!

You probably have enough gear already and don't
need to hang in FS getting irritated by GAS anyway.
