Hence they don't need to meet the requirements.
I am with you guys on rising the requirements. 500/750 posts and 3/6 months membership sounds good to me. Perhaps require a paid subscription as well?

Hello,
I understand your point, but please don't do that
I have no post there on head-fi, just because I have nothing to say, but I spend a lot of time on the FS forum and could obviously buy overly expensive gear such as GRADO HP1-2 or STAX OMEGA 2.
I would be happy to participate in this community but my gear and knowledge are not sufficient right now (I don't want you people to make fun at me...and at my potential weak reviews...)
The only way to participate would be to own good audio gear, and the only way to do that is to buy it on the FS forum
Buyers definitely need to be protected from scammers....As for Sellers I understand your point but scammers are rapidly pointed out and banned (hopefully!).
That's what we can see here...and as you, I think that this story is very sad, but in fact that is what most headfiers do...selling their gear for a higher price or at the same price they bought it (only for expensive and rare gear I mean...such as K1000 for example). They don't do it for profit only, but it is quite the same at the end. But ethically acceptable still...do not misinterpret my point.
Do not forget that most people are honest and then they deserved to be trust even if they have no feedback (that is what we called the "présomption d'innocence" in French law, once you are not found guilty you are stated as innocent and then trustworthy).
This community must stay open and not become a closed fraternity of young audio fan millionnaires!!!
Hope you guys will understand my point.
