Also i have a question when people ask for stuff whether it be markers, clothing etc like was done in this post " anything for a 6 ft 4 skinny lad?" ..... what do u do... ignore it?
Don't worry about paintball specific clothing for playing in the woods, pick a pair of cheap army surplus trousers and a long sleeve t-shirt and you're good to go.
@Scottishgirl I suspect the issue is that most of your posts seem to be shoehorning your for sale items in thinly veiled as advice, this may not be your intention but that's how it comes across.

Suppose when people are asking for stuff and yr selling something "they might want" all your trying to do is help. It happens day in day out on forum and there Is loads of people getting tagged on posts to look at stuff, I suppose I thought this was right thing to do and done the same. But I apologised on Thursday and yet again today I get dug up for a post on thursday just gets a bit annoying
he asked "anything for a skinny lad" after you pointed him to your thread, which he cannot access. We can all read. I know you are desperate to sell all your stuff, but it appears you don't wish to even read the rules, let alone follow them. I cant believe you don't understand why trolling the newbie forum flogging your stuff is frowned upon.
@Bolter listen I apologised to you on thursday regarding this, but for you to dig me up today on a Thursday post was pretty rude
And To say I don't follow rules is out of order as I have done since day one, all I was merely doing was following what everyone else does on here, and continues to do so as there is many posts TODAY with people being tagged in them to look at stuff.
Trolling newbie section. .. what does this mean? I'm lost!
And as for the above guy not being able to "access this" how would I know that?
Not interested in arguments only pointing out yr digging me up again on something I have already said sorry for!!!

of course not.
The other day, you were bumping your threads, by tagging people, in multiple replies (rather than use the edit button) and were tagging in newbies, this is not allowed, i politely approached you, and you apologised (there was no need to apologise). Then today i see this post from Thursday, (I have an actual job, I am not on here 24/7) where you are (what can be seen as) spamming a new guys thread with your for sale stuff, which is not allowed. You are tagging in new guys, the guys that don't have access to the classifieds. Its all in the rules, and the rules are set for everyone, and you agreed to the rules by joining the forum (I cant help if you didnt read them)
I'm not interested in if you think Im rude, Im here to stop newbies from being taken advantage of. This is NOT what I think you are doing, this is what will happen if we allow people to just offer up their wares in threads that have nothing to do with the classifieds. I can see you are just trying to sell your stuff, I DO NOT think you are a scammer, or any other thing you want to turn this into, but you do seem to be taking it personally, and not taking on board what advice people are giving you.
So to clarify, classifieds stuff only in the classifieds section.
New members of this forum need 20 posts to access the classifieds and PM's etc.
When other people are tagging threads, and the tagged person has access to the classifieds (20 posts), and its in the classifieds section, then I have no issue whatsoever.
And if its Thursday (just 2 days ago is not considered digging thank you) or today, its still wrong.
I am a mum of 2 kids, a carer for my mum and i have a job so i am not on here 24/7 either and when i am i just copied what i saw the others doing as i thought this was right thing to do. Then I apologised for my crime and I went on to take yr advice and haven't done it again. I was taking it personally cause I got dug up for what I could see was the same as everyone else was doing hope you can see that. You have made it clear now about the tagging however how do u know the difference between newbies or classified section ppl if they approach you??
Like I said before not interested in arguments or undermining ppl who have a job to do to keep the site tidy but I hope u see where I was coming from and my confusion as to why I was being dug up and no one else was!!!

You approached him, not the other way around, lets make that clear.I deleted your first post in this thread.
Yes, I can totally see your side of things. Ive explained why, and why others are not doing wrong. Did you read anything I wrote?
You can tell a newbie as it will be a thread in the forum called "newbies", like this thread. Scroll to the top, it says home>forums>p8 talk>newbies or look under their name, thats where you can see the number of messages they have (20 are needed to access the classifieds)
You can tell its the classifieds section as it will be in the "For sale", "wanted", or "Platinum classifieds" forum
Each thread in that section is for that section. Everything is labelled accordingly. This is not a personal attack, I am not digging you up or picking on you. I am a moderator, trying to enforce the rules.
Thats cool, now you know, and we can leave this guy alone.
