Core Standard
Members are expected to treat others with respect, communicate honestly, and use PB Tradepost in a way that protects trust in the marketplace and community.
Allowed
- Respectful disagreement and debate.
- Product opinions, reviews, and criticism.
- Paintball discussion, BST activity, and forum conversation.
- Good-faith questions from newer players.
Not Allowed
- Harassment, threats, intimidation, or targeted abuse.
- Doxxing or sharing private personal information.
- Fraud, scams, impersonation, or feedback manipulation.
- Spam, explicit sexual material, or content that harms the community.
Marketplace Integrity
The BST only works when members can trust each other. Describe items honestly, communicate clearly, ship promptly, and resolve disputes professionally.
- Do not misrepresent condition, ownership, authenticity, price, or included items.
- Do not use PB Tradepost to scam, pressure, or mislead other members.
- Do not manipulate feedback or retaliate against legitimate feedback.
- Use common-sense payment and shipping practices.
Moderation Philosophy
PB Tradepost moderators enforce behavior standards, not viewpoints. Respectful disagreement is allowed. Abuse, fraud, threats, spam, and unsafe marketplace activity are not.
Moderation actions may include reminders, content removal, moderator notes, temporary restrictions, or account removal for severe or repeated violations. During private beta, enforcement is handled case-by-case with moderator discretion.
Reporting Problems
Members should report listings, threads, replies, feedback, messages, or users that appear to violate these standards. Reports help moderators review issues faster, but moderators may also act directly when they see a problem.
