It's not an enormous problem, but every now and again I see listings like "Free sofa", when the whole point of Freegle is it's for free stuff, and it niggles a bit! Similarly, when people say "Fridge-freezer wanted" or "Laptop offered", when those words are already automatically prefixed by Freegle.

It might be seen as a little bit like nannying, but I wonder if you would consider adding such words to a list such that if they are typed in the subject line, the user could be gently reminded that they are not necessary :)
