Never seen a game, only shot in my Nans friends aunt's cousins uncles brothers back garden. Shoots like a laser will easily outrange teh bestest snipers! It's fully upgraded with every part 

 

£700 buyer pays fees, postage and for the box it comes in!

 

But the paint job is a work of art.  Takes skill to make it look that realistic.

[My Feedback has Disappeared. Any fixes?]

Yes, all the old feedback prior to 2018 was archived and is no longer accessible.  That would explain your lack of feedback if all yours had been prior to the new feedback being implemented and all members getting reset to zero.

[My Feedback has Disappeared. Any fixes?]

The member leaving feedback can change it (positive, neutral, or negative) and they can remove it as well.  

Moderators can also remove feedback, in your case I am not aware of that happening.

You could try sending a PM to the members who you have sold or brought items from and ask them to leave feedback.

The topic has been locked for now.  General discussion around the topic of discrimination was fine. There is no need to post the banned player's name (handle) or social media info to identify them.

Damn, if only I knew this sooner, I'd just slip a few carboard boxes from Aldi over my body parts and I'd be invisible 🤯

[What guns are needed?]

I think this topic has run its course. Having opinions about an idea and discussing them is fine but personal attacks are not helpful or really necessary.

@Jedi_Master  @proffrink

Guys, What was the outcome on deterring the spammers etc ? 

 

@proffrink  is working on the issue within limitations of the software, it is a work in progress.

Coincidentally - the last registered forum user was also on the 18th Jan - @Jedi_Master indicated that @proffrink suspended new registrations until a new spam solution could be implemented.

 

I wonder if that is related to your issue?

I expect this will be the reason

Yes, proffrink is looking at what is best to deter/restrict the spammers.

This is an airsoft forum, not air rifle.

[If I hear one more Youtuber referring to an 'M' 'K' 23....]

Technically MK is only an abbreviation for Mark. It is not an acronym because "MK" does not read as a word unlike RADAR which does.

scared to post my gun for sale now though… but I’ll be checking back on here just in case there’s any ‘friendly’ advice 😉

 

Just make a topic in the Appraisals section and get some idea of value before creating a Mack's worthy advert

Not sure how long profile pages are still visible. Assume they disappear after a week but as I can see them all anyway it is hard to tell. They should not be able to post which is the main thing.

@Jedi_MasterMaybe it's time then to start with the "moody country" ip ban, see if that makes a difference, if it does, great, if not, consider other options. 

It seems like the easiest option initially, requiring not much mod work once set up. 

Although it does make me wonder about sites like zeroin, while it's a bit of a ghost town of late, don't see any spam popping up, wonder how they've filtered or blocked it ? 

 

 I would love to blanket ban certain countries where all this spam is originating from. However, they tend to use VPNs which means it is not as simple. Something for the root admin to work on.
