Hi there,
So I've noticed like many of us, an increase in scam attempts in the classifieds. 2FA was a good idea, but there has been an influx of listings from people using product photos from other websites in attempt to scam Head-Fi users. Over on Reddit, r/AVExchange requires a timestamp for all listings, and that seems to work quite well.
2FA is great, but if someone's account is hacked successfully, anyone can add 2FA. Timestamps however are more difficult to fake in a convincing manner, although not impossible.
Just a suggestion, but I do believe that would be a great way to further protect Head-Fi users.
