Personally, I would like to see posting privileges in the high end section limited to full-time working professionals only. That is, they'd have to have a link to their studio or business, or something, so readers can have some idea of their musical context and experience.

I realize that this excludes me. But honestly, I can get amateur advice anywhere. When I read high-end, I want to know that the person posting there knows what they're talking about in a professional (i.e. gotta pay your mortgage with it) context. I don't want to have to wade through the comments of a bunch of people who may be able to afford a small number of pieces of high-end gear, but don't have significant depth of experience behind it.

Yes, there are a small handful of threads I can contribue to in high-end. But giving up posting privileges would be a small price to pay given what I can learn. And what I can contribute, I can contribute elsewhere.
