Banned from PBN... :\

[SpitFire1299]

I was banned from PBN for saying v|i|r|t|u|e in a b/s/t.. and i "avoided the filter".

How am i supposed to sell something when all you see is *?

I know that this is AO, and that is PBN, but a week for it? damn. Has anyone else been banned like this?

[warbeak2099]

They can do whatever they want. Virtue proved themselves to be a backhanded company who stole products from other companies. PBN does not want any appearance of their name on their website. Neither would I.

Also, everyone knows what board is in your gun if it says, "*" anyways. Most people on PBN know about the banning of those losers.

Sorry if it seems like the world is unfair, but it isn't PBN's fault. They have every right to seperate themselves from a wrong-doing company.

Not from PBN, pbreview gave me a life ban... I still dont know why. said I was threatening people & using bad words.

How am i supposed to sell something when all you see is ******? "My gun has ******. I really like ******." wtf

I was banned for the same thing.... "vir tue" is what i wrote. The deal is that PBnation does not support virtue and doesn't care if you have it and want to sell it. So plain and simple they don't care. PBNation is a business. Once it was a great place to go but now i just look up new guns and fixes people have done.that's all. Other than that it's overrun with ignorant teenagers that just like to mouth off and support their own stupid decisions.

Did you circumvent a "curse" filter on PBN? Yes you did.

If you were to do the same here, you'd get the same BAN.

It linked me to my b/s/t thread for my matrix with virtue when i looked at the info.

I feel a bit out of the loop here. What is so bad about a virtue board? What did the company do?

[Pneumagger]

I don't know...but I was banned for diagreeing with a PBN's non support of virtue. I basically said I disagreed and I think their ban of the word Virtue was petty and immature to think that it would somehow hurt Virtue. I even said that "ya what virtue did was wrong...but..."

Never even avoided the cuss filter. PBN is so immature and so self righteous about defending their opinions. Just a bunch of kiddies that need to open their eyes to see the bigger picture of the sport and a bunch of mods having a 24/7 pissing contest.

EDIT: I wonder if that last statement would get me a ban over there? The only thing nice about that site is it makes me like AO more everytime I visit the PBN zoo.

Kind of on the same topic, what does pbn have against 68caliber.com? I noticed some links (mainly in my sig there) that it is blocked as well.

It becomes a problem when money is involved though... im selling my gun today and seeing that im banned isnt very good. Ive never been banned from anything.. so maybe im making a big deal out of it..

[mag_lover05]

its not that big o' deal....its not like your missing anything good

[paintman1234]

I belive virtue, had some people from their company register on pbnation and just talk up their boards and stuff like that. Pbn didnt like that so they stoped supporting virtue

Oh RLY?? Troll around any macDev forum or some of the other trademark forums, and you'll see alot of buisiness reps touting their products. Alot of times misleadingly. At least Virtue was straight with everyone and had a product that delivered (or seemed to by all accounts I've heard)

Remember the whole debate on "sweep trajectory" and the claims by one of the reps of how their guns shot furter or something a few months ago. Alien i think it might of been Or how there was that pic of a MacDev rep modelling some PB wear with a Pistol in his pants?

Plenty of reps do stuff far worthy of a ban then virtue did. One of the PBN mods probably just threw a fit and now their being obtuse about it.

[68magOwner]

honestly, EVERYONE on pbn knows that if they see "i have a * board" it means virtue, so, really, there is no reason to avoid the swear filter at all, your fault

There's a difference between marketing (even gimmick marketing) and just flatout lieing.

Personally, I disagree. Obviously Virtue was not straight with everyone.


Anyway, I agree with rkjunior... it doesn't matter what the reason for them not wanting you to use virtue is... they don't want you using. You used it anyway, so you got banned. It's clearly stated what happens when you avoid the filter, so don't blame PBN for it.
