Paintball guns are being traded here but Airsoft isn't? Why!
I received a warning from a moderator, we won't say no names. I saw that paintball guns have been frequently sold or traded on this site. But my Airsoft gun I wanted to trade ad was flagged as a warning. If Hobbytown sells them in the Rc community out of their hobby shops as well as paintball, what's the big deal. I am not selling a fireArm that discharges rimfire or center fire rounds, just plastic bb's that are also used in war tournaments just like paintball. I want to put my ad back up, all moderators get together and decide on this for me. I'm a bit concerned that someone would believe this was a firearm, and by doing so, is not a sufficient moderator and is flagging the wrong ads.

In airsoft, the gun is made to look like real-world firearms. The plastic pellets resemble bullets and are loaded as magazines just like with real guns. In paintball, the marker is loaded with paintballs through a bulky hopper. The gun has to be held upright for loading of the paintballs, while an airsoft loading resembles a real gun once again. It's just one of our rules here.

A lot of forums I am on have an "everything else for sale/trade" forum. I don't know why this is a big deal? What's next can't sell play station games or a watch. This is silly.
