Okay, this is probably controversial, but since this is the suggestion forum, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

The For sale section, specifically the Parts for Sale section is overrun by just a few posters spamming multiple for sale threads.

When a poster has many separate listings for various generator parts rather than a single thread with multiple parts, it makes it annoying to have to scroll through so many pages. It gets even worse when they "bump" all of their threads and pretty much take over the front page. I know using the search feature on the site is somewhat an option (assuming you don't use common words), but most people will only browse the first couple pages, which makes it pointless to post there, unless I'm constantly bumping my threads as well.

Creating an active posting limit of say 5 threads maximum per user, or perhaps more moderation on spamming multiple threads when all the parts can be listed in a single thread may be a better choice to encourage more variety and more unique threads.

There's a 10 post limit already.

There's only 20 posts per page. So a limit to 5 or even 3 active threads would really clean things up.

It currently reminds me of Craigslist, where someone posts the same job over and over. Making it impossible to find anything interesting.
