Proposal: Standard Subject formatting for Trading

I propose a standard for naming trading threads for easier and quicker readability.

[Type of Trade] Item (extra information)

Type of trades would include:
Auction
Selling
Sold

Item:
Would just be a general idea what is being traded.
ex. Diamond Pickaxe, Realm,

Extra Information:
This would include enchantments, realm location, and auction end date.
ex (Fortune 3) or (x-25,z-50, Dec 15)

Here's an example of a full subject:
[Selling] Diamond Pickaxe (Fortune 3, Unbreak 3)
[Auction] Realm (x-50,z-100, Dec 20)

Buy now and starting prices don't need to be included in the title because if people are interested in buying the item they will already be looking in the thread.

Looks good, but how do we make people follow this?

I will use this template if I ever need to sell something. Thank you, Jdankk, for this great idea.

I would like to think if people start using it more, it just becomes a standard that doesn't need to be enforced, however, I would like to suggest this thread to be stickied for reference.
