I agree with the educational part of it, in that it would help newer people become familiar with correct gear or techniques. However, this isn't just the seller's problem, it's also the buyer's. If someone isn't sure, and purchases an inaccurate helmet for example, that was produced based on bad advice, then everyone loses. Now that person has to replace or modify the helmet themself, and the reputation of the helmet as not being acceptable will of course spread. This will cause less sales for the company. It hurts everyone.

Some stipulations off of the top of my head could be: years as a roman reenactor, number of items accurately constructed, peer recomendation, academic in the field or Roman history...

It could be done. One other possibility is that the forum could be viewed by anyone, but only posted on by those who meet the qualifications.
