Can we ban two-tone sales on the forum?

Can we ban two-tone sales on the forum? It would be taking a good lead I think.

Some retailers have stated that T-T is 80% of their business anyway, so banning them here whould increase their sales, no?...

i dont think that will work at all
first off the amount of people coming on to these forums trying to buy there first gun and trying to learn about airsoft.
i think it will be unfair on them.
however maybe a separate section for two tone sales so newbies know where to go?

UKAZ have taken the lead here and I think Z1 should follow.

I think there should be a sub section. However failing that ban them altogether yes

Or any two tone guns have too have a different colour thread title if they post in the for sale or swaps section so people know before they click on the thread.

That Jmusa is a good idea. The problem with Two-Tone sales is you don't know if the buyer is 18 or over. As he will have no UKARA or site membership that allows him to buy non two-tone. So all these new members coming on here always spamming "can you two-tone this" i bet over 80% of them arn't even old enough to own an IF/RIF.

You have just trumped me hunter
Surely people can tell the difference between a 15. Year old and someone who is older
Maybe a form of age identification is a way.

The problem is this is the internet. Anyone can pretend to be older or younger. The easiest way is to ask for a contact number. But even they they've only got to hand the phone to there older juvenile brother or whatever. Theres too many ways around it

Re: Can we ban two-tone sales on the forum?

judging by the amount of people on here that are under 18 i don't think that would work

It's a good way for Zero One to demonstrate a level of responsibility.

Well maybe take a picture of their birth certificate with their uername in the same photo?
If they can't provide this then no sale?

its not just newbies as said here but also anyone under the age of 18

Re: Can we ban two-tone sales on the forum?

Well it's all based on trust at the moment and it's working fine
However what message would this send out that zeroin and z1 think that no one should play with two tones and that people that do aren't welcome on their forums?

Re: Can we ban two-tone sales on the forum?

or at least, how about a vote on whether to ban two tone sales?

Or would we get hideously outnumbered by the newbies... hmm
