Racism, discriminatory remarks, links to racist websites, racist pictures or racist language including slang on our site is not allowed. Discrimination will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate ban. No need, you can discuss stereotypes but don't be openly offensive.
Thinktank accounts are non-transferable and may not be sold, shared or given away. Do not impersonate someone else or pretend to be an employee of a company you are not affiliated with. Users may not commit Posting Fraud by pretending to be a 2nd user in order to post positive or negative reviews of products or comment on topics as though they were two separate unconnected users. All accounts involved in Posting Fraud will be permanently banned from use
Do not spam thinktank any way. We sell ads if you want to promote your product, team or website. Businesses are not allowed to start threads regarding their own products or services for sale except in the Paintball News forum. Please read and follow the Industry News rules when making such a post. Pre-order posts are not allowed on PbNation. Please read our complete Advertising and Business Posting Guidelines.
Non-sanctioned contests, money making schemes, lottery contests, referral sites (both links and games) are not permitted. Pyramid schemes are scams, don't work, and nobody here wants to hear about them. They are considered spam and are not allowed.
The following are offenses that will usually result in a 1 to 7 day temporary ban and possibly a permanent ban:
No trolling. Do not make posts that are inflammatory, or designed to get people riled up. Substance is the key to not being labeled a troll. If you disagree with someone or something, simply say why.
Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, instant messenger aliases, email addresses, etc., without their permission. Respect the privacy of others. Thinktank reserves the right to release such information if need be.
Each section may have its own rules stickied. Please read and follow those rules. The following is common forum etiquette for all of Thinktankand violations may earn an infraction. You can learn more about infractions here in our Infractions FAQ. Excessive abuse will result in a ban:
Think before you post. Posts containing "ibc", "pwnd", "drink bleach" or any other off topic waste of space quickly becomes very annoying to those who are seeking useful information. Please do not type “first post, second post," etc. even if you are indeed the first poster in a thread.
Post content in the appropriate forum. Read the forum stickies, or ask a moderator if you are uncertain of the correct forum to post to.
Keep the use of colored text formatting colors to a minimum. Not everyone uses the same style, so text made to be blue with the [color=blue] tag in one style may not be readable to everyone in another style.
Do not post in all capital letters. Posting in all caps is considered yelling, and is not only annoying, but impolite.
Do not start threads directed solely towards another user. Use the private message function to contact individuals.
No fundraisers or collections for charity on the site. We have no way of controlling where the money goes to make sure it gets to the right people.
Posts that encourage or promote dangerous or illegal uses, modifications or actions will not be tolerated.
