Fix the edit title button to actually edit the title
Well when you want to enforce a rule in the marketplace to only allow one thread, how about you fix the forum function to actually allow users to update the title? Mods can update the titles...so it can be done.
Sure..you can go advanced and update the post title for the OP but that does not change the title of the thread as it is displayed in the forum.
Meaning, as someone adds and removes parts in their 1 single FS thread they can update the title instead of it being so far off of what is actually FS.

The non-editing titles ability has been in place for several years now. Yes staff members are the only ones who can edit them, and I'm sure for good reason. Behind every rule is a reason. I will let our senior Admin chime in on this, as this rule predates my tenure...

Noted, and we appreciate your feedback.
We began enforcing the 1 thread rule per section to reduce clutter, particularly back when our forum was more active.
As for not being able to change the thread title externally (it changes within the thread as you noted), it was to deter people from editing their OP to include unapproved items after the thread gets approved by a Mod.

This makes sense, as each FS must undergo the approval process before becoming public...

I agree on the clutter. I separated my items in what groups made sense with appropriate titles. Some of the marketplace categories have crossover areas.

(notes that most of the forum clutter was by vendors bumping 20-30 threads in a matter of seconds)

That is conflicting. I am being told to use one thread. I have parts that come up for sale in spurts. If i cannot have multiple threads and I am not supposed to post inside of a another thread with new items then how do i list new items FS in a organized matter.

not a vendor. I just change things on my car a lot. I let things pile up in the garage and then sell them or as i change a few different things i sell my old parts. All used parts.
Do you need some **** in your inbox? is that what youre getting at
Ill stick to one thread in each subsection, just give me a way to edit my titles.

From what I recall, there isn't a way to let a specific individuals (or even usergroup) the ability to change the titles externally without also making them a Moderator of that section, which is unfortunate. I'll look into it more and if I find it, I will let you guys know.

Sorry for the delay but I have some updates..
As mentioned previously, there wasn't a way to grant specific individuals (or groups) the ability to change thread titles. However, if and when you need to list a new item(s) for sale/trade, you may simply create a new FS/FT thread.
Our system will now automatically detect when you have more than 1 thread open in a Marketplace sub-forum and close all but the newest of the threads. This way, you don't have to worry about going over the 1-thread-limit, and your thread titles will appropriately reflect the items in your listing.
