I'd like to suggest a quality-of-life improvement for the marketplace section.

Recently, while reviewing a sales thread in the E-Book / Guides section for a method, I noticed that several pages consisted almost entirely of bump posts from the original poster. This isn't a criticism of the seller, as they're following the current rules and using bumps as intended. However, it highlighted a usability issue. For reference, here's an example of the type of thread I'm talking about:
https://cracked.st/Thread-Sellix-%E2%9D%...%8F?page=6
 If you browse through several pages of that thread, you'll notice that a significant portion of the posts are bumps. A review post made by ZeroTrace777 helps me as a buyer. Again, this is not a criticism of the seller, who is simply using the forum's current bumping system. The thread is just a good example of how meaningful discussion, questions, reviews, and updates can become difficult to find when a thread accumulates a large number of bump posts.
 
As a potential buyer, I wanted to see:
  • Customer reviews and vouches
  • Questions from interested buyers
  • Responses from the seller
  • Concerns, complaints, or follow-up discussions
  • Updates to the product or service
Instead, I had to scroll through a large number of bump posts to find the actual discussion. This makes it harder to evaluate a thread and make an informed purchasing decision. A possible solution would be to add one of the following:
  • A "Hide Bumps" toggle
  • Automatic collapsing of bump-only posts
  • A "Show Non-Bump Posts Only" filter
  • A compact "Seller Activity / Bump History" section
This would not affect a seller's ability to bump their thread or keep it visible. It would simply make it easier for members to review meaningful discussion and feedback. I think this would improve transparency in the marketplace and help buyers assess sales threads more efficiently.
 
Would anyone else find this useful?

+1, just allow us to bump without clotting up the entire thread
