More Moderators for the Forum?

IMHO - these type of adverts should be reported (through the normal reporting mechanism) for the moderators to deal with.

 

They can use other methods of enforcing the forums rule (i.e. issue warnings) rather than outright banning them that would occur with the spam-flag function. It might just be a genuine mistake on the part of the seller (unlikely in this instance, I know, but not impossible), with a little bit of 'education' needed to correct their actions. 

 

But again, that's just my opinion - the mods may feel differently. 

While I agree, can't help but think an item such as this, a potentially high powered airgun that's also a rif, should be visible here for the shortest possible time, therefore reducing the chance of someone unsuitable getting their hands on it. 

Add to that the seller has been a member since November, but this is his first post, selling something that goes against the rules, which I'm guessing he knew that hence why he clearly points out its NOT AIRSOFT. 

I think inconveniencing him by briefly suspending his content until a senior mod reviews it, is far outweighed by the nature of his post & the potential harm it could cause ?. 

Fudge it, its hidden, I'm sure the mods will smack my hand if I've overstepped the mark ?

Fair points. There's a fair chance the seller knew exactly what they were doing sticking up that particular advert.

Just report those kind of posts please. The flagging is purely for the kind of obvious botting that we've been sustaining (all of the vice-y stuff).

Okey dokey, can you please reinstate the guys post as I'm struggling to find that option on my phone ?

Its a strange one, but is it "non Airsoft" ?, if I had VERY deep pockets I'd definitely consider a themed vehicle for games, Dunno if I'd have something older than me though (I'm 55?‍♂️). 

Is it legit to be in the gear section ?, what do you think @Jedi_Master ?

She's a beauty - and only 20-30min up the road from me as well. Just need to convince the missus that £18k would be money well spent...?

Really, with inflation being what it is, and classic vehicles going up in value, can you afford not to buy it?

Removed the advert. Whilst it could be used for airsoft, and I was at a themed WW2 game where they used a Jeep for transport of Allies, it is not strictly in the bounds of airsoft guns and gear.
