The Forum is in TEST Stage

[Darrin]

This is a very powerful forum program and as you will see is much better then all of the free forums most web site use.

It will take us some time to get everything set up just right.

Please feel free to post while we are working on the forum and web site.

Post here if you have any forum suggestions.

The main web site is not ready yet but we do need people to post in the forum to test it and workout the bugs.

If you have friends that are scenraio paintball players you can let them know about the forum to sign up and help test it by using it and posting.

Colors will be change soon.

Thanks.

B/S/T sections of forums can be a busy place, A good set of rules can make it "the place" to buy or sell.

I lifted a set of rules from another forum as an example, If nothing else I think #2 & #7 are key. No one likes to follow a link to a pbn sale thread, No one likes to read a descriprion, with no picture, with "offer" in the price.

1. Only one "up" per day. The thread owner is the only person that can up a thread. Giving a "free up" if you are not the thread owner will get you a warning. Repeat offenders will get a temp ban.
2. An image of the actual item for sale and a listed asking price must be included in the thread. This is to cut down on scammers and shady dealers. Threads without a valid image will be closed (you may get a courtesy warning). Links to pics on other hosting sites are OK, but we don't want links to other PB sites, eBay and the like. If you really want to sell an item, take the time to create a thread and put some thought into it, you'd be surprised how much it helps you sell your item if a buyer doesn't have to follow half a dozen links to find a picture.

3. Dont post in the thread unless you are interested in buying/trading. Do not comment in other peoples threads in a derogatory manner. If you don't like their price or product, just leave it alone. Additionally, please refrain from attacking people that break this rule. Breaking this rule isn't permission to start flaming somebody. Just report it to a moderator.
4. No retail selling or advertising is allowed on ________ unless you are a legitimate sponsor of the forums. This B/S/T forum is intended for people to sell their excess gear... not a retailer's outlet. If you are selling products for your retail business in the B/S/T, your thread will be deleted and you could be banned without warning.
If you would like to sponsor ________, please contact a moderator.
5. We will not be allowing "Drop Ship Sales". This is a sale where you are a third party to a supplier and manufacturer. This infringes on our sponsors which are valuable to the life of this forum. These threads will be deleted and repeat offenders will be permanently banned.
6. Please do not put things such as ********RED ION F/S******** as the subject. If you do this, the moderators will edit the thread ***le and remove the fluff.
7. No links to ebay, another site, or another forum where the item is being sold. Your thread will be closed or deleted immediately and a ban given out if you continue to post them after a warning.
8. No "testing waters" or "how much is this gun worth?" threads.

9. Do not use other peoples B/S/T threads to advertise your own thread.
10. Please edit your thread once the item is sold to signify that it is no longer available.
11. Due to the inability to positively confirm the adult age of a buyer, no weapons of any type are to be sold on this forum...either in public or private. This includes, but is not limited to; Knives of any type; Metal (steel, aluminum or Zinc construction) firearms or replicas that do not contain colored plastic muzzle sections (this does NOT include air-soft products); ammunition, live or dud; swords; martial arts novelties of any kind, such as nun-chuckus, tonfus and throwing stars, ET AL; explosives or explosive devices, live or facsimile; silencers of any type (this does NOT include "FAKE SILENCERS..so long as that is mentioned); plans or schematics to make or create such items or any other items that are contrary to law or require specialized licensing or taxes to the Federal and/or State/Provincial Governments; drugs or facsimile, legal or not; drug paraphernalia to include pipes, water-pipes/bongs, ET AL; pictures or graphics that contain, support or glorify illegal drug usage; alcoholic beverages or tobacco items or links to any of the above.
12. All of the forum rules apply in the b/s/t
Failure to follow any of these rules will result in a temporary ban.

The Buy/Sell/Trade section is here for the convenience of it's users. ________, it's operators, owners, sponsors and staff hold no liability for lost goods or deals gone bad. Please use at your own risk. If the deal sounds too good to be true, be wary. If your dealing with someone who has no feedback, be wary. There are scammers out there. Please report any strange activity or feedback fraud to staff.
