there's a difference between picking things out of the trash and picking up a sofa that was obviously just put out by the poster. I mean, they have a picture of it in situ, so to speak.
As I think I've said before, non-buyer beware. But the community mods have neither the time nor inclination to police what people pick up off the street. If you don't want it, you know, don't take it.
The issue isnt so much with a couch being left out in the rain and whatnot, but bedbugs. Not that I think _your_ couch has bedbugs, but lots of people get them from taking in soft furniture. It might set a better example to not advertise free couches, and maybe bag up the cushions separately when throwing out the frame.
