Welcome to PBWire
A home for paintball conversation that sticks around. Built for speedball and open to every format: gear, tech, the pro scene, local play, and a marketplace you can trust. Posts here stay easy to find, so what you write today still helps someone next year.
The short version
- Be a good teammate. Disagree with ideas, not people.
- Search first, post in the right forum, and give your thread a clear title.
- No spam, no harassment, and no sharing other people's private info.
- Buying or selling? Read the Marketplace rules and how feedback works.
- See something off? Use Report or PM a moderator. Please don't escalate it in the thread.
Community guidelines
- Be respectful. Banter and strong opinions are fine. Harassment, hate, threats, and pile-ons aren't.
- Stay on topic. Each forum has a purpose. Anything non-paintball goes in the Off-Topic Lounge, which stays civil too.
- No spam or stealth ads. Shops, brands, and fields are welcome. Just be upfront about who you are, keep promotions in the marketplace, and skip referral links.
- Protect privacy. Don't post anyone's personal info, private messages, or photos without their OK.
- Keep it legal. No stolen or counterfeit gear, no pirated media.
- Play safe. Posts that encourage unsafe habits, like playing without proper eye protection, will be removed.
How we moderate
We keep a light touch. Most issues get a friendly nudge. Repeat or serious problems get a warning, and a ban only if needed. If you think we got something wrong, PM a moderator. We're happy to take a second look.
