Pet Peeve
Guys wanting to buy or sell parts that don't include location, or complete their profiles. They plaster the internet with personal info via facebook and other social media, but are afraid to reveal the basics on this forum.

It doesn't enhance their ability to sell, that's for sure. My other pet peeve is people that ask technical questions, get several thoughtful responses and never re-visit the thread or acknowledge the answers

I hate when they don't post pictures. it should be a requirement that if you have something to sell, at least include a picture of it so A) we can see the condition, and B) we know you actually have the part and not trying to scam anyone.

What about people who PM you with a question, you respond to them with a PM, and they don't acknowledge that.

What aggravates me is when somebody quotes a post that has multiple pics in it, then somebody else does it, and so on. Scrolling through duplicates of duplicates of duplicates is a PITA. Some guys will even do it in the very next post after the original one. Not always the case but it's often a newbie thing and all it does is clutter up somebody's thread. It also bogs things down for slow internet users.

And then they will only want to make a comment about one of the pictures, why not delete the rest!

In the PARTS section, there are many post titles that don't indicate if the part is 'For Sale' or 'WTB'. I'd like to see a checkbox (or similar) added so the OP must indicate which. Then the title could indicate the checkbox selected.
Hopefully, the Moderators can feed this back to the web designers for consideration.

Luckily, no one threatened to shoot me or ban me so that I could then learn, "how-to".
The posters who don't learn, are the ones who frustrate many of us. Offering suggestions is a given but not for long if the offender continues to ignore them.
Then, they are "open season"...
Therefore the "boom" in smart phones?
