    Fair warning on this one - Yes, I'm a mod on PBN. Yes, I've asked for bans for people evading the Virtue filter. Yes, I believe PBN has every right to filter any word they want, especially when a company does what AdvantagePB did.

    Moving on...

    The irony I see in this is that Advantage would name a board designed to cheat the rules "Virtue". Core of the irony right there. Further irony is that the word "virtue" is used so seldom in paintball in general, filtering it (or dodging said filter) only happens when people are talking about a circuit board. Even more irony comes from the fact that people complain about being temporarily banned from a free forum board for breaking their rules. I'm amazed daily at the number of people who claim ignorance on the filter, but knowingly avoid it in their posts, and then complain when a ban comes their way. I've always thought that if a system filters something out, it's obviously not something the system wants there.

    As an aside, I checked the logs, and didn't see your name anywhere, so I'm guessing you use another name on PBN. Filter dodges are almost never perm bans, so you should be up and running again soon. Take it for what it is. In spite of what plenty of people (even here, on what I'd considered one of the more intelligent boards on the web) think, PBN mods aren't just a bunch of jerks sitting around waiting for someone to ban at random. There's a quarter of a million user names on there, and we get to deal with everything from porn posts, to people posting someone's personal info, to death threats, to theft... it goes on and on. Mods aren't paid for their work on PBN, and you'd be shocked at some of the garbage we get to put up with in our efforts to keep the insanity down to a dull roar. I've had some private messages that have implied some really unpleasant things about my sexual preferences, my mother, my affiliations with paintball companies, etc.
    all at the same time? Wow, Ive never actually come up with a one line diss to do that...
    Didn't you see the note by "Modding for Dummies"? The part about it being a thankless job? Well, almost thankless
    Thanks

    Spitfire. Ok. So you knew the rules. You knew it was going to be censored out. You avoided it. Why are you *****ing again? Oh thats right, cuz you got caught. Think about that next time someone wipes and it causes you the extra points of winning the game. They know its wrong too. Does this make it acceptable to you?

      I see the irony in that I can't go to PBN with my wife and kids in the room because of some of the images in peoples profiles, yet they would put a word in their cuss filter because moral/ethical reasoning.

          100% correct, not only did they poison the well and talk false/wrong info about their competitors products, but they also had their own employees leave them good feedback and such.

          What they did was stupid, and wrong. But id still use a virtue board because its a quality product, and it delivers.

              Geez, it's only PBN. It's not like you were sent to prison for life. It's a child like site ran by by child like people. No big loss.

              If that's the worse thing that ever happens to you in life, consider yourself extremely lucky.

                    your ignorance makes up for the little i actually know about you. PBNation is actually a very informative site with sections for respective companies and such, teams and what not. Its just a matter of weaving through the dumb posters that have nothing better to do than say "im teh gainess, i like butt secs, hump a camel" and the ones that are like "hawtest [insert your gun name here] on the nation!!!!!1111oneoneoneoneoneone" that you have to watch out for. Search is your friend, and elite deal seeker is even better

                      im not sure who actualy owns it vs who runs it

                      i know the mods/admins run it from day to day for the most part, i believe the ownerhsip is a seperate entity for the most part.

                      but i could be wrong, i dont know exactly how TEH pbnz workz

                      i cant say i agree with everything on pbn, however if it was my site im sure i would be living a tad more comfortably

                        PBN is hectic, sure, but it's a million times larger than AO, with a younger user-base. Of course there are going to be good and bad apples.

                        It's not as if we don't have our share of morons and spammers here. Look at Lohman.

                          Ive been unbanned since monday.. lol. I was never really *****ing; rather ranting and sharing my opinion on what happened. I kind of had the wrong approach to the situation when creating this topic.

                          I do understand that AO and PBN are 2 different forums, but most of us here associate with both. I still stand by my previous posts in this forum also.

                          Im keeping my Virchoo matrix btw.

                              I actually know the guys Georgia Tech that design pbnation so I will ask them and see what the big deal is about Virtue. Unless some one can tell me to begin with... If it is in a classified thread I don't see the problem with it because how are you suppose to sell your marker with a ***** board. Technically when the marker arrives at the persons house all it has to have is a piece of wood (board) with ****** on it and it would be what the thread offered. So PBNation is supporting deceptive practices???

                                Er, I think someone decided to not read posts longer than one sentence.

                                As for PbN supporting deceptive practices? Give me a break. They aren't selling anything! Any deception is practiced by the seller. Besides, caveat emptor. Communicate with the seller outside of PbN to verify details. It's something you should do no matter what you are selling or buying, just to have multiple means of contact.
