It was made clear that this forum wants to get its threads to be indexed. It is the bottom line.
We did not say not to put the domain name in the title but to avoid the spiders.
I have suggested thousand times that DnforumDOTcom format in the title will serve both its orginal rule as well as avoiding the spiders.
I also stated that the rules needed to be changed so that members would not be misled.

10. ALL DOMAIN SALES MUST list the actual domain name IN THE POST, and at least one of the domain names being sold in the title of the post, you must post the ACTUAL DOMAIN NAME. No spacing of letters or domains is permitted in titles and/or posts for all Platinum Sales sections as well as the Domain Appraisal section. There's a solution for those avoiding spiders, you may use example(.)com or example(dot)com. In addition, most forums have a sticky thread or an announcement thread (or perhaps both) with more rules specific to that subforum. Please check for specific sticky threads and specific announcements that pertain to the subforum before posting in the forums. This rule is echoed in many sticky threads across our forum. Checking for a sticky before posting is netiquette you should be aware of, in any forum. Further reading here.

Above is rule 10 and I have highlighted the misleading part. The forum needs to change it as there is no way around to avoid spiders.
